i told my boss exactly how i feel. what a novel idea not to keep things bottled up. too bad my eyes starting watering like i was some sissy girl. okay, so what if i'm a sissy girl?

the cheese and i went to the schaumburg library. this is perhaps the biggest library i have ever been in, ever. i'm talking it was the size of hershey, pennsylvania. the different sections were designed like store fronts. there's a cafe. the cheese was amazed to find that schaumburg had two copies of some obscure book, when arlington didn't have any. the whole trip blew our minds; of course, we are easily impressed.

i need a root canal. i've been putting it off for years. years. so many years that i can't properly count, since i've been lying about it for so long. "i've needed one for the past year," i'd say, when indeed it had been three. "it's only been six months..." when actually it had been since the late nineties. i'm afraid. i'd rather wait for the tooth to just fall out. no, i don't want that happening either. maybe if i drink more milk, it will heal itself. then i can write a book on how ignorance works better than flouride when it comes to dental care.

the cheese and i have passed the 1.5 year mark. we've been living together for 1 year. now if that doesn't blow the mind, then i don't know what does. sometimes i fear that he will grow bored with me- then i remind myself of what a bundle of excitement and adventure i am, and i instantly feel better.

we got a check in the mail yesterday. it was for three hundred thirty dollars, and it was unexpected and undeserved. so i think we're going to blow it all on jell-o.
