.

i feel like a pregnant woman. stress is high. emotions are all over the place when i let them out. and my right quad has been intermittently twitching for the last month or so. the end of the year is coming up. and i still don't know where i will be next year. living in limbo again. i need to come up for breath and take a look around and find land to swim to.

other than that..

i was surprised to find that doris and i shared the same milk drinking habits when we were younger. she hates milk even more than i do. we both had parents who placed a cup of it in front of us every morning. sometimes it would end up down the drain, when we were lucky. other times, it was a race to see how fast we could chug the milk and stuff something in our mouths to clean out the residual taste. the worst was procrastinating the drinking of the milk so that it got warm. dad was always there with the stern look. i wish he had just given me some calcium fortified gummy bears.
