I'm going to England with my cousin in August!

Feeling okay today. Saw a friend. Talked about some things that I needed to talk about.

I'm not hurting anymore. I'm not tired. It's gonna be okay. That is my past. It doesn't concern me now. I am not alone, and I have people who will support me. I'll be okay. I just need to keep moving forward.

Roosevelt's new song Colour is kickass. Listening to new music is one aspect of life that makes it feel not bad to still be alive at times.

I Clonazepam, simply having some nearby is such a stress relief.

Moths!

I hated them when I was a kid- we had camping holidays in France where the shower blocks were full of huge panicked moths blundering into people. It took me a while to see that from the moths' point of view.

I now work as a cleaner, and I'm very interested in zoology. Including the zoology of things with "too many legs." People at work are very careless about leaving windows open, so quite often I have to rescue moths. I've found some fantastic ones: a huge triangular Lime Hawkmoth; a Poplar Hawkmoth that looked like two crumpled-up dead leaves; a Large Emerald that looked like a little strawberry plant was growing on the wall. Right now there's a boom in ditzy Large Yellow Underwings. As insects go, they've got an understated beauty, and they're often endearingly dozy when I catch them.

So, when I'm out sweeping floors and cleaning toilets, a good moth can really make my day.

Flan is delicious. I got an eight-pack of flan today!

Rafael Nadal started off 2017 by winning the Mubadala Tennis event! Here's to a happy 2017, Rafa!

Spain is also performing well at Hopman Cup in Perth. Rafa's confidence and joy should go up a hundredfold! I'm American but, for some reason, I have a thing for Spanish tennis players.

The Australian Open has begun! Roger Federer will be playing again after six months away from tennis. Good luck, Roger!

I'm watching Istomin play Djokovic at Rod Laver Arena.
Great match!

Istomin won!
Against the world no. 2!
Yoo hoo!

genuinely flabbergasted that my inexpensive dell laptop has managed to last since december 2012 without a single hardware failure.

I was so happy for Denis Istomin! He is a good man and deserves the best!

Congratulations to Roger Federer for winning the Australian Open at 35 and to Rafael Nadal for making the final at 30! I'm much older than they are, but it is great to see players achieving at a high level later in their careers.

I gave a speech today in Toastmasters. I think I needed more practice, but people liked it.
