Day Two Hundred & Six

Day Two Hundred & Five

For holding a sweet (though often screaming) 4 week old baby. For tracing those teeny feet, for smelling that baby smell, for remembering the preciousness of life.

Day Two Hundred & Four

After a day where I couldn't force myself to get out of bed until 5pm, by the encouraging words of S.R., I met her at a coffee shop to work on finals. I managed to create about 2 slides in 4 hours, but what really mattered is that I had gotten out of bed, was spending time with someone very dear to me, and that I was reconnecting with the Universe. Later that night S. let me cuddle in her super soft bed and I fell asleep listening to her TV and breathing. And I felt safe. And I felt loved. And I felt like maybe things could be okay.

Day Two Hundred & Three

For a wonderful evening spent with S.B, including watching New Girl snuggled in bed with her and the simple presence of her sleeping next to me.

Day Two Hundred & Two

For Thai food & a slumber party with B.A. For knowing that even though she's going to move back to California soon, I have absolutely no doubts that we will maintain our friendship and that it'll be just as strong.

Day Two Hundred & One

For writing a 5 page paper in 3 hours, when I usually average 1 page per 90 minutes.

Day Two Hundred!

It was really great to have a low-key, fun birthday dinner with friends this year. I like big parties and my birthday last year was perhaps the best birthday celebration I've ever had, but there's also something to be said about going out to dinner with people who love you and want to acknowledge your place in their lives.
