My stomach is trembling but my heart is happy. I skipped group tonight and watched “Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.” I’d never really watched it before, listened, understood… Pure imagination.

(Breathing…) I had quite an adventure today. My body held up better than I expected. I can’t say it is often I find myself wandering the streets of North Park on a Monday afternoon in a party dress, or writing in a window seat of the Manchester Grand conference center, or riding the Orange Line and soaking in the view. No. I’ve never done any of those. (pause) But they were fun.

I wish my mom would turn off the news. Take an umbrella & a sweater. You’ll be fine. It’s interrupting my imagining.

Fun lesson of the day: Steak tacos make good foot warmers. :)
