Things that make me happy, in no particular order:

1. I keep finding kosher ground turkey for $2.59 a pound at Trader Joe's. That's cheaper than tofu, or cheese, or any number of protein alternatives. I can afford kosher animal products!


2. My sister, who just might be my favorite person in the world, is coming to visit me for four days next weekend.


3. I have fallen in love with certain books I once loathed, including The Scarlet Letter and The Sound and the Fury.


4. I have new glasses. They are deep red and angular, and they do fascinating things to the shape of my face.

Thing that rather disturbs me:

1. It is November 17. There are three weekends left in the semester, and I intend to spend one of them with my sister. The other two must be reserved for seminar papers. This means that I will not be seen on the Internet this weekend (or the next one, or the one after that). Deepest apologies, avariel_wings and tahira_saki.
