The smell of money (specifically coins) on your hands is really interesting, I think. Sort of metallic, even. The sisters, Mike and I played a rousing game of rummoli tonight, which was good fun, except for the 30 minute case of hiccups I got midway through. Ow.

It's been a busy weekend so far, between trying to balance friends and family and the boy, but mostly good. The Fall Fair is always good fun, and I got to see Rach, which made Saturday a lot better. I worry about her a lot.

I missed out (apparently) on seeing some of the high school people last night because I went out with the SMATHies, but for the first time in a long time, that didn't really matter to me...the friendships I have now are healthier, I think. I was going to break that down and explain the change over the last five years but I've finally realized that it doesn't matter how things used to be, the important thing is how things are now, and what I actually have. Which is a squishable boyfriend, really kickass (if messy) roommates, good family and strong friendships with a lot of fascinating, fantastic people. And a purring cat. So I really do have a lot to be thankful for in the present, this weekend.

Mike's driving me and the Squidge back to North Bay Rock City tomorrow, because he rules.

I wish I had something more concrete to write about, but I clearly don't, and I clearly need to go to bed.

Oh. I know, I finally jumped on the white stripes bandwagona nd bought 'elephant'. I also picked up the new pornographers' second album, but haven't listened to it yet.

take care and goodnight
