i have gotten into the habit of eating while im reading before bed. i completely blame it on sarah and her influence while i was home...ok and i completely blame it on my lack of self control when there are chocolate covered raisons in my place.

the other night i added dried apple slices to my normal chocolate covered raison mix. i thought i was just fine untill i woke up at 3 in the morning with my stomach on fire. i could not go to bed for anything and by the time i had made tea to settle it i was wide awake. by the time i went to bed at 4:30. i decided that it was a good thing.

i have come to realize that i do not let myself alone with my thoughts very often. i fill my life with busyness and obligations, with noise. that night i could not escape silence....my thoughts. processing, in the end, turns out to be a really good thing no matter how much it hurts along the way.


i miss them.
