January 8: I called Shannon tonight so that we could catch up on each other’s lives since we last saw each other a few months after we ended our therapy sessions at Kaiser and we ended up spending an hour talking about African Killer Bees.
January 9: A few weeks ago, the heater was left on overnight, leading us to open up the bungalow to a sauna the next morning. Ana taped up a sign to remind us to turn the heater off before we leave. A lot of kids end up misreading the sign and once a week, one will ask me why I need to be turned off.
January 10: Natalie suggested that all the people teaching the brains segment of the nutritions camp to look up the UCSF lending library. Apparently, they rent (or at least used to a few years ago) actual human organs. I tried to imagine what it would be like to walk to work with a brain sloshing around in my backpack.
January 11: I woke up with a sore throat this morning. No matter what I am eating, it feels like I’m trying to swallow the state of Arizona whole.
January 12: The boiler room flooded and cut off the electricity for the entire day. It was dark and we couldn’t even boil water to make hot drinks. Jen was so cold that she wore a bright purple monster hat, a part of her daughter’s past Halloween costume.
January 13: The electricity at the school was fixed, only for there to be a gas leak. School was cancelled today.
January 14: I can’t stop thinking about ice cream. I’ve spent almost all week drinking only hot tea and eating only hot soups that I’m missing other temperatures. Nick bought me a pint of Three Twin’s Mint Confetti and it took all of my self control to not eat it all in one sitting.
much love,
hedgie
