Willy...Willy Wonka
And every single time I watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory I want to jump on Willy. In every sense. Is that wrong?

Today I bought some things that I love. Here is my list.
1)Chopsticks. I bought the plastic ones because they are more durable, and i don't really trust all of my housemates.
2)a teapot that steeps tea LEAVES, not bags. It's sooo good.
3)Green tea leaves. It's the one that they make the green tea milk tea out of. It's scrumptous.
4)Regular tea leaves. It's like bagged tea, but better.

I don't know why those things make me happy, but they do.

It's been more difficult, since her memorial service. It's been more of a struggle, the day to day living, knowing that life has to go back to normal. But still: it's okay. I'm at peace. I'm grieving, but not completely consumed. It's funny - this was something I had been thinking about for years. I was totally worried that it wouldn't hurt. I was scared that I would be completely heartless and able to cope perfectly and just...not cry. I can't explain it anymore than that.

But thank you for your overwhelming support and love. It means the world to me. And even if i don't always get back to you....i get it all, and i love it (and you).
