Read the book Sickened by Julie Gregory all day long. Left my apartment once to buy greens for Dusty. Turned on the TV for 3 minutes. How can a reality show have outtakes? Had a dream where the older me was shaking the younger me, age five, saying, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.” I don’t know why I would dream that—if anyone should be apologizing it’s the five-year-old.

David and I went Christmas shopping. He’s done, I am almost. He came over for dinner. I made chicken of the taverns, we watched How’s Your News?—the documentary about a group of retarded people that decided to put together their own news team and go to the Republican and Democratic conventions. Hilarious!
