A fresh perspective

I have finally managed to find a cafe in Chico with wi-fi, so I'm no longer beholden to my parents' dial-up.

The weather has been cold and clear, and my anxieties have been wiped away. Getting out of town has been good. I feel less crazy than I have in weeks.

Still no strong showing of Christmas spirit, but we did decorate the Traditional Holiday Ficus, and strung lights around the windows. And there's been some gift shopping, with my mom, and seasonal frut, mandarin oranges and tiny braeburn apples, and visiting with my grandmother.
