the weather decided to turn cool without much warning, reminding me that in winter my apartment morphs into a human refrigerator. no amount of hot tea or sweatshirt-layering makes the chill go away, but i refuse to turn on the heater when the outside temp is in the mid-to-high-50's. i miss the days of central air/heating, when i had a little box that magically kept my home at a comfortable 78 degrees. thermostat- where are you now, when i need you the most?
my mom is a bad ass. she and several of her closest friends jumped out of an airplane last weekend to celebrate their birthdays.
here she is looking remarkably calm pre-jump:

i believe that i've mentioned this before, but i was reminded last night. when i go, i want it to be fast and painless for my family. i don't want anyone to have to cleanup after me. i don't want to linger and become someone other than myself.
All this talkin' all the time and the air fills up, up, up
Until there's nothin' left to breathe
And you think you feel most everything
And we know that our hearts are just made out of strings
To be pulled, strings to be pulled
-Modest Mouse
