it is not december yet, but i have had done with november, which was nothing but a month of sorrows. which is of course unfair. i went to concord with esme, and read quite a few children's books on the quiet. i had some good meals, and ate hanutas, and watched 2046, and got to go into boston for a day to get away from it all. so in the tally of good things it was a decent month. and yet i could do with having it behind me. it was entirely too full of glass shards and demons.
