amateurs

hey mom, i took a shower today... it's the first shower i've taken since before you left. so that makes it a grand total of what ... three showers since halloween? surely it must be a record of some sort.... so that's why i'm mentioning it. it's sort of a small almost-momentous occasion.

everything went fine. didn't get stuck to the porceline or anything. the new nozzle still works well, no leaks.

i've taken so long because i just haven't felt like physically moving my body, especially my legs, around very much. but i've been feeling more agile lately, more energetic. my legs seem to be less swollen too.

i know my arm is better because i've been noticing it's much easier to jerk espresso. and getting in and out of bed seems less of a pain.

the weather here has been socked in for the last two or three days. all the amateur fireworks poppers got pretty much rained out. so that was a good thing. they did start popping enough to become annoying and fill the streets with black-powder smoke smell around 9:30pm so i just turned on the sirius disorder satellite and the fan and went to bed.

i was awakened at midnite by bigger, louder explosions, professional fireworks. the weather had cleared a bit more and at like annual clockwork every new year's at midnite there's a great fireworks show shot off over honolulu harbor at aloha tower.

the annual fireworks view out my bedroom window is spectacular, and it was obviously loud enough to wake me last nite. after the fireworks show, about 12:30am, i went back to bed.

about 5:30 am i woke up. after espresso, before sun-up i opened an organic cans of black-eye peas, added a few cloves of crushed garlic. later that morning i cooked it, jerked some more espresso and had breakfast.
