Upbeats and beatdowns

Dear Jess, The heaviness is lifted off your shoulders and your heart. Difficult circumstances that have been weighing on you for too long are now transforming from heavy metals into spiritual gold. The philosopher’s stone may be working magic for you now, but you cannot take anything for granted. Temper your excitement with humility and gratitude.

Oh yes. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yes.  By the way. I received word that I’d taken second for the Rehkopf award which is pretty sweet. It means I get a little cash which I desperately, desperately need.  And it’s an honor.  Yay for papers about Kansas!

Also, my mom and i aren’t fighting.  Cos I’m getting a second job.  And she let me move Logan into his home finally.

And Logan is around the house.  And he likes me and he likes the house, it seems. He was so adorable, snooping about and taking it all in.  Then he hid under the bed cos that’s what cats do for their first day in a new place.  I love him.  And I love living there.  It’s so much fun.  And I like eating in all the time.  It’s great. I like having a list of to-dos at a place which belongs to me.
