I don’t think I can recall every single thing that’s happened, but I’ll try and list the most memorable/meaningful.

• Got a new doggy a week ago. She’s a long-haired chihuahua named Lucky Wawa. Nicknames: He (everyone, including the vet, keeps calling her that), and Demon Eyes.

• Got locked in a restroom stall at school. Thank goodness that college restrooms are generally cleaner than high schools’. No embarassment, it was actually pretty fun/funny.

• Had a meaningful talk with “3” late one night. Everyone seems to be getting along lately. It was a good heart-to-heart without the mushiness/tears. I’m gonna give myself a pat on the back. That was a great older sister moment for me. I will own that “Best Big Sis In The World” mug (if such a thing existed).

Today, was a good day. Like, satisfying, you know?

True, there was an unexpected downpour, but even that circumstance allowed me to have a nice conversation with a stranger who was caught in the rain too. We headed out to the parking lot together and I didn’t even mind that I was getting so cold I couldn’t feel my hands and my shoes were soaked through. Which, speaking of, I decided to drive without shoes on and it was kinda fun haha. That was a first for me. (Another first for me today was when I changed the battery on the fire alarm! I felt so accomplished. :] I was totally one of those kids that liked to play with screwdrivers and tool kits.)

Then, I went home and picked up “2” and we went to Chase. After we left, I went in the wrong direction and had to do a u-turn up this overpass, but it was amazing. The sky had broken and there was clear, pure blue. I felt like we were driving up into the sky or on the roadway to freaking heaven or something. For srz, yo.

Annnd, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE MOST AMAZING WOMAN IN THE WORLD, MY MOM!!! I love you with all my heart. Thank you so much for all the sacrifices, love, and patience you have given me. (..Seriously, I was a pissy pre-teen in middle school.)

I love you. Wo ai ni. Saranghaeyo. Je t’aime. Ich liebe dich. Um..ti amo. :)
