Bethalou

This is a list of things I’ve effed up today:

Doing homework- or not.

Walking- specifically up stairs and while carrying a tray of food.

Coffee-  pushed the button for “grind” instead of “pour” and released a large, though pleasantly aromatic, pile of coffee grounds onto the countertop in dining services. Walked. away.

Ate seven cookies and drank two glasses of milk, then tried to nap after:

Baking a potato- baked potato, took nap.

Upon waking…

Salting a potato- tried to salt said potato. The salt was gone, and so I refilled the shaker NOT covering the other end, the one with all the holes. Saltiest potato ever. Eating same said potato is turning out to have been a mistake. I have a tummy ache.

Dream 1: Fighting a snarl of snakes with my brother and sister. Ice skates work well for cutting them in two with your feet without having to get your face all up in the snakey’s biznass. After much terror and many injuries, we found that a simple upturned box with a book on top works best.

Dream 2: Hiking in the Boundary Waters, I was attacked in the leg (bitten, if you will) by a snapping turtle named Iser Schnienen, who was lying is ambush in the bushes. After receiving treatment, including rabies shots, in Ely, I kayaked to my family’s campsite. Iser Schneinen 0: Beth 1.

Things I like:

I went to the grocery store and not one thing that I bought was non-awesome.

Feels like spring!

I got a test back and it had a good grade on it.

I emailed profs to write letters of recommendations for me.

Taking a test and getting paid 20$ for my time.

I have a ginormous notebook which stays open on my desk. It acts as a sort of doodle/scheduler/grocery list/journal.

This is what is on my ginonotebook:

1. Monday, Tuesday assignments

2. The admonishment to “Drink more water!”

3. a grocery list of 18 items, most of which are notsohealthy

4. a phone number

5. directions

6. lyrics “Bless this heart and its heart so savage” -Joanna Newsome

7. doodles: a dragonfly, a vine, my signature (?)

8. a sticker for Hillary for President

Had a crazy dream about wolves last night, some of it was scary, but the parts without the wolves were awesome. In my dream it was summer. And summer felt good.
