Hey this thing is on! Only two and a half hours or so after that last post, Hendrik offered me cookies!
Thank you!
“Hrrr hmm…” {lowers voice} “…did you hear? Meghan could use a new hairdryer.”
OK, that’s the end of my third person-ing for a while.

Speaking of falling, I saw a friend who was off to some event, the dessert bringing kind. Someone else was carefully holding a bag of hers on its side. What’s in there? Oh…it was an apple pie but two steps out the door I slipped and fell and now it’s a half-squished apple pie.
Aww poor thing! It was a freshly baked pie too! Out the oven, out the door and then that’s it – the pie becomes crippled. But it tastes the same, she could still bring it. Yes it does taste the same. I suggested that she should offer it has apple crumble and then people will not notice the difference.
Then an even better name came out: apple schlepenfahl
I’m sure that joke has been used for as long as apple pies have existed, but I just woke up from a nap and need something to chuckle about.
Heh, snowball effect. I wrote “woke up for a nap”. That may have been me in year 2 of graduate school. Just kidding, but really, I like that expression.

…I actually forgot about a piece of chocolate I purchased the other day. That never happens to me. You know those kids that have Halloween candy at Easter? Well – that was definitely never me.

Below was possibly…a little negative and I am tempted to delete but…maybe instead of getting rid of pain the aspirin here makes me a little loopy. I’ll keep it there as a reminder. I am wiped, checking in soon. Was watching an episode of Samurai Jack and wondering why the first four minutes were filled with shots of planets, space, and howling wind sounds. Then a character talked and I realized I was watching my screen saver. Seriously – 4 minutes.

I am doing apartment cleaning and considering things that need to be gone before I leave (to avoid a mad scramble in September). I can only take a large suitcase, a large backpack, and large tupperware container, a small backpack and a carry on suitcase of things back with me. OK so I don’t need to worry too much but…
…the old shoes can’t come with me. No matter how attached I feel to them.
This morning I threw away the keds (March 2006 – March 2007):
Bought the week before I came to Japan and worn until I came back to Vancouver a year later.
More heartbreaking, I through away my Sugar shoes (August 2002 – sometime winter 2007):
They were purchased when I visited my sister in San Fran that many summers ago. I could probably still get another year or so out of them but really, I have not worn them much since the fall and I don’t flatten well for packing.
Actually as I wrote the above I thought about shoe bronzing but that would be heavy and bulky still. Then I thought – oh – I totally should have taken them apart and at least made something with them (something flat). To late…darn it.
