my sickness is pretty much gone. hooray!

yesterday i did my second close alone. and by alone, i mean that my boyfriend came in and swept and mopped and kept me company. it took me an hour less than last time, but i can't help but wonder how much progress that actually would have been if he hadn't been helping. i was wondering how they...

d) first time closing alone, second time closing.

It was Halloween. I was at my parents house. They had just remodeled it, exposing several new rooms that I never knew existed there. My uncle was there. I started counting the rooms to figure out how many people could stay here now. 27.

I went upstairs and saw a low black cloud in the sky, swirling disjointedly. It came closer to the ground, and...
