the 9 days of xmas

1: feeling sick
2: who was I 48 hours ago?
3: nothing is happening but I am exhausted
4: chocolate helps. a little bit.
5: monologues on one's suffering and martyrdom are not conversations
6: even though you are not feeling well, you will still wash all the dishes out of concern that I'd break the china
7: a genuinely pleasant evening punctuated by moments of excruciating tension and oblivious insensitivity
8: migraine, aspirin, friend therapy
9: normal life, I love you more than you can know
