  • I got the second nosebleed of my life last night

    The first one happened when I was in Claire's, and I feel like it was in the Factoria Mall. This one I think is because of the dry air. Funny that I didn't get any when I lived in Bozeman.

    Anyway, I got some nasal saline spray from CVS. I'm just like Leems fr -- walking to CVS from Nanny's house. I love nasal spray now! I also think my dry nose contributed to the sore throat feeling that I was worried about as well. So that is good for my peace of mind, too.

    • A long torso is actually more desireable than long legs, but it's not a conscious preference

      • A great vintage find: my aunt's high school letterman's jacket, courtesy of my grandma's attic

      • Visited my grandma's friend Pat today. Her childhood (and current) home was built before my undergrad institution was even established (1830 vs 1842).

        • The house on Wood St that my grandmother grew up in.

          • Pink is the best Starbursts flavor. However, getting both pink in a two-pack is not as good as getting one pink and one yellow.

            • I can't believe I hated Rhode Island for so long. I now feel a soft protectiveness for Rhode Island. I am nostalgic for Rhode Island. I want to cherish Rhode Island.

              I wonder if these feelings are coming about because I see the mortality of my 90-year-old grandmother, who loves Rhode Island, with her roots in Rhode Island.

              • These are my grandma's glasses. How do I look?

              • Markdown-to-HTML woes

                Sigh, it looks like whatever I am doing here puts each block of markdown text inside of a <p> tag. Which, fair enough. It just looks bad to have the extra linebreak between the content, and both the title (if it exists) and date/permalink.

              • Nobody told me how easy it was to get a thigh gap as a woman in her mid/late-20s. (Granted, mine kind of coincided with a once-in-a-lifetime, global pandemic.) Also, nobody told me how much prettier I would get post-25 years old.
