In Boston, it is very cold. It rains. Rain turns to ice. Ice melts into puddles. It snows. The water refreezes. So I trudge through snow, slip on ice. Now that the ice is starting to disappear, the thermometer dips below zero and I shiver, my hands fumbling with numbness to click the keys of my phone—to move, for gosh sake. And then I feel tired because I’m trying too hard to do so little.
But when I have the time to thaw, I accomplish much. I have
- finished reading The Help, which probably deserves its own entry (the book was damn good),
- played soccer (Indoors. I’m not a crazy person to be playing in 3-degrees Fahrenheit weather),
- visited two new places in Boston (North Andover and Woburn),
- learned how to code in basic html,
- worked and worked and worked from 9 to 5,
- bought tall brown boots (which I’ve been looking for for a while),
- purchased the unwritten, volume 2,
AND
- I’ve written [most of] a new song (woo hoo!). Lyrics below.

toes up to my head?

so I’d let go of the past.
Why did you have to be

how I feel?
So I can tell you
I feel bad.
What is the appeal?
Of making me
Of making me
Of making me
So so so so so so so so
so so so so so so
so so so so so so
sad
What is this regret?
Put on a grumpy face
the music in your head.
You’d be surprised that
I have finally found my sass.
Why don’t you go ahead
and kiss my
Ask me
how I feel?
So I can tell you
I feel bad.
What is the appeal?
Of making me
Of making me
Of making me
So so so so so so so so
so so so so so so
so so so so so so
sad
I’ll tell you how I feel:
like I am finally flying,
hands pulled off the wheel,
my independence driving
you a little wild.
Why did you have to be
such a child?
So so so so so so
so so so so so so
so so so so so so
sad.
