Rain, secrets, slobtastic

January 26, 2001

i am listening to rain slip and slide down the gutter of the building next door. it’s cold in my apartment. there’s no heat, because last time i turned on the heater i set off the smoke detector. i desperately crave a deep mug of hot cocoa, but we are out of milk. i am tempted to microwave a cup of water just so i can wrap my fingers around the warm ceramic. it’s cold in my apartment.

i cannot tell you how at peace i am right now. it’s hard to explain without getting into details, and please don’t ask, because i won’t tell you. there are some things i will never tell a soul. there are some things so secret and sacred that not even ink or paper will have the pleasure of knowing.

but: what i can say is i am feeling extraordinarily better than i was a week ago. that is saying a lot.

and: thank you to the sap who has listened to me babble, ramble, whine, complain and mutter this past week. you are slobtastic.

 


  • I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>


  • I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
    I look on the bright side.
    I take photos. Lots of photos.
    I wish on stars and on websites.


  • I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
    I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
    I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
    I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
