But I just had to say... today was superb (aside from me being ridiculously exhausted). I completed the spur of the moment book for my niece that I wrote and illustrated in two days (since I have to miss her birthday party... due to work). My mom (the teacher) suspects she has sensory issues... so I kind of wanted to make a book that she could relate to and that was also empowering. She loves princesses... and owls are really cute. So I ended up rewriting the Princess and the Pea as "The Owl Princess and the Pine cone". Also the hero in the story is NOT a prince. It's the princess's wise old Aunt (ahahahaha... I see what you did there Liz...)

I also visited my grandmother. I really enjoy spending time with people. Have you noticed? I almost cried though... silly me. I so badly want to place my child in her arms. It's bad enough I lost my grandfather... as complex a man as he was (Don't get me started on family dysfunction). I really want her to be able to hold my first child at least. I'm so lucky to be close to my grandmother and my family. I love that my mum's whole side of the family still gets together for Christmas. Family is so important. It's one of the reasons I'll probably be stuck here forever. As much as I want to run wild all over the country (not to mention the world), I can't imagine a life where I was inaccessible to them... and I don't just mean inaccessible communicably (since cyberspace makes almost everywhere accessible)... I mean inaccessibly physically.
OK I really need to sleep so I can go be nursely tomorrow. Counter to what you're taught in college... critical thinking does actually require sleep!
