Mood: happy, grateful

I had company tonight. If you had asked me a few weeks ago if people came to the house, I'd be like "yeah- sure." But as I cleaned up today, I realized: It's probably been 6 months since I've had anyone else in my place. Now, I've been travelling and I go out, so I'm not a total loser, but damn.

You get too used to things.

I was getting some art paper and on the cover of the pad I had written "Expect Poison From Standing Water." The drawings inside were four years old.

We stood on the deck tonight, snapping away and I was grateful and recharged.
