remember the dumpster-dived carnations from november? they are still around, hanging in there. i put them in my bathroom because i thought they might do with some sunshine, my room being really dark. i also really enjoy the patterns of condensation on the skylight, even though the dampness is a nuisance.
went to bed really early yesterday, literally, thinking it was such a good way to start the new year, to begin waking up early and having hours of daylight to utilize. ended up waking up in pain first at midnight, then before six, not being able to sleep for hours. i blame the crappy bed as much as lousy genes, but my back is really out of whack now. vertebrae not sitting right combined with vague rheumatic condition makes it feel like my spine, skull and teeth are on fire. note to self: buy more ginger. it helps. but i must get this spine of mine fixed.
so, 2012 is not all sugar and spice after all, but i'm still looking forward to it, which is more than the past few years can claim. and now, if you'll excuse me, i have some aimless whittling to do...
