today

Drinking wine...brain tired from today's 3 hour exam...I'm all thunk out...skyped with Andy and was reminded of how loved I am...and the life I am going to have...I hear the tappity-tap of the dawg's long nails across the floor...is he tap dancing?...the cold wind blows the snow sideways outside and I thank God I am inside wrapped in this blanket, the large glass of magic by my side...tomorrow shitloads of Christmas cookies will be made...family traditions, what's left of them as the daughters grow up and roll their eyes at 'old peoples' tradition...they'll remember one day when their little ones come...it's ok, Mom gets the last laugh...life is good today.
