dglenn's quote of the day

i had to borrow this one, because i think it's something of which we all need to be reminded occasionally.

"By all means cry if you need to. The great troubles of the world will not be helped by our ignoring or belittling the small troubles close to home." -- Rachel Kadel-Garcia, 2005-05-20, regarding the death of a kitten.

i was going to do the happy new shoes dance

but all day my heart was struggling to get out of my chest like a cat in a bag, flinging itself against my ribcage with the desperation of prometheus beset by eagles. even my own heart wants to escape my brain. perhaps the lithium will soothe the savage breast.

nevertheless, new shoes. comfortable, yet stylish. also very expensive. but those of us who know the heartbreak of orthotics take what we can get.
