The Great Gatsby & Other Fresh Starts

New diversion.

Figgy is reading The Great Gatsy for school. I've never read it. Years ago, H. told me I should, that it's great. I tried but couldn't get into it.

I picked up Fig's MHS copy this morning in bed and was engrossed. I couldn't find H.'s old copy--and though I know some neighbors would have happily loaned theirs had I posted a request on our tight neighborhood listserve--I decided this is going to be an important book for me, and bought the softcover at the local bookstore for $13.48 counting tax.

I hope I don't get fickle and push it aside.

Good night.

1. Yoga @ Yogadesha in town. Want to get back to yoga weekly. Holding onto a lot of stress. Also, like yoga language: child's pose, warrior, sun salutation, balance, stretch, open your heart to grace.
2. Connected in person with another mother to talk about something hard we share in common, and get support. Had tried to do this several times, but I kept having to cancel due to the something hard.
3. Bought grilled artichokes @ Italian store. Yum. And they're veggies!
4. Picked up and put down Dirty Potato Chips and chocolate crumb-cake square at bagel shop-walked out empty-handed.
