i am almost done getting my life back in order after the lost keys incident. i now have a new id card, money, a house key, and the bike key and atm card are on their merry way. getting a new bus pass requires paying $20!!!! ridiculous! so i am without a bus pass. no matter. what remains is my fourstar card, copy card, and noodles card. slowly, surely.

it is getting very cold and this is depressing! my california bones are craving warmth and not getting any from the cruel wisconsin weathergods. warm sunshine! there is sunshine but it is only mocking me, not warming me. grr, argh.

my mom is coming on friday! hurray! free meals! shopping! getting my trombone fixed! hurray!
