@Crazy Hitch: Another evocative apposite drawing! I certainly have felt rage this past month. It *DOES* look like Liv Tyler. She's achingly pretty. Does she have bipolar? Is there a connection?

@June08: Science AND religion? You must walk a pretty tight rope. How do you cope with evolution versus creationism? It's so cool that you are so into getting to know your students and interested in creative ways to do so. My dad was in teaching and he hated it. Glad to see you are a dedicated teacher, tho i understand that you are in a religious private school system. Things are not so rosy in public schools.

I had a very successful trip to the mall. I kept all my purchases purposeful and affordable at Walmart and the dollar store. I yapped to strangers but it mostly went over well and people enjoyed my energy. The bus driver was so thrilled with me he gave me a free day-long bus pass when i forgot to buy a bus ticket! Haha! He just handed it to me as i got off! Real secretly, like he didn't want anyone to know. What a nice man!!!

So happy, because facing the future without my favorite mall that has everything under the sun, merchandise, food, AND services, was not thrilling me. I've been there everyday for 25 years, so i guess it's so familiar that i can cope with it without triggering my PTSD. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
