I'm Soooo Happy (again)
God. It was just a few weeks ago that I posted "I'm So Sad". But my mother, ever the realist, would NEVER have wanted that, and I tell her now that I'm so happy once more. I don't know; it's , of course, the friends (whether they live here--as the Gang of Four Hundred--or are the now constant stream of winter visitors), it was an incident like today when the temperature plunged to a bone-chilling 58 degrees and I felt gallant and took off my jacket and put it on the shoulders of a shivering woman waiting for the bus with me who couldn't speak a work of English, but understood me perfectly. It was my dog, KiKi, who let me hug him over and over today. And, I awoke early and read more of Alexander Chee's "Edinburgh" and cried a little (well, a lot) , and will spend much of my day reading more of it. (I'll cry a little more, to be sure.) Thankfully, it's not a sin to be happy.

Awww, that's the way to go. Cherish those moments honey.
58 degrees? Pleeeeze, I can't feel my toes today!
Take them out of the pointy sling-backs for a second; you'll feel them. Hugs to you, Adrian.
Now if you’d really been steeped in the milk of human kindness you would have offered the woman your feather boa as well.
I jest, of course. I was both moved and inspired by your post when I read it early this morning, and I vowed that I would do something generous before the day was over. After all, we should all do more for our fellow human beings. So I dressed down a bit today since it’s a practically tropical 24 degrees here and at the bus stop I went up to this adorably cute Chris Evans look-a-like and offered him my underwear.
All I can say is that I hope I never ever see a sneer like THAT again.
Mail them to me; I won't sneer, I'll smell.
I prefer mules my-damn-self but I digress...
What's that I was told once? YOU CAN"T KEEP A GOOD BITCH DOWN. Ain't it the truth babydoll? Glad to hear your smile has returned.
