Today I...

- Helped my old man neighbor Joe and his smelly beagle dog Penny when he locked himself out of his house. I called the locksmith, and we all hung out in my living room while we waited for them to show up. Penny puked on my doormat.

- Decided not to apply to any jobs until tomorrow. Stupid job hunt and its lack of progress makes me feel bad about myself.

- Got a call from the county assistance office. I'm eligible for Food Stamps. It's a relief and another thing that makes me feel bad about myself.

- Finished reading "French Milk," a fun graphic novel that makes me want to go to France and learn French and eat lots and lots of French food. It also makes me want to write in short, comic-book-like sentences and research French recipes.

- Noticed that snow makes noise when it falls. It's very quiet, almost imperceptible, but it's there. It sounds a little like white noise. No pun intended.

oh mandy - how are you! i miss the friendship we never really got to have... :) i loved reading as much as i could from here today... i'm sorry about joe and smelly penny and their bodily functions in your personal space. it cracked me up but i know it's not much fun in the moment. hang in there. and never trust how your feel about yourself while looking for work - it's all lies in your mind! but i know that's easier said than done.
take care,
mel
