spring sweetness vs. sugar headaches
Today was one of those with a cloudless sky and no breeze. The air was room temperature, meek to the lungs and kind to the spirit. I walked around in a state of thankfulness that really surprised me. I never remember being this happy for the spring. The buds are about to burst. Squirrels are frisking. People are tossing frisbees. Friendships seem easier; joy seems more natural.
Around dusk I ate a large chocolate chip cookie, an orange, and drank a bottle of sweetened iced tea. It was a good illustration of the difference between joy and pleasure, between a gift and something grabbed. Good in the mouth, but I had forgotten how it sickly lingers. I feel like I need a drink of clean water and a breath of fresh air.
Tea time in the i-house again tonight.

You weren't at I-House tea time. :-P
i know exactly what you mean about spring. i keep thinking that it seems so new this year...and i don't ever remember enjoying it so much.
They do speak Kazhak but there is a lot of Russian as well from what I've been told. So far I've raised a whopping $0, but my parents did offer to take care of my debt payments while I'm gone. It's a start.
We should chat sometime soon. Kristen has my phone number and I have unlimited long distance if I can get yours.
