surprise!

yesterday was a good day once i got over my extreme morning sleepiness. i got a lot of work done. it was sunny and warm (although, i could only confirm the former through my window). the drive home was spent obsessively smelling for that burning plastic smell which has had me freaked out since sunday. i thought about stopping at the mechanic and having him smell it, but decided against it. when i parked in front of my building, the stink was so bad, i spent an hour peeking out my balcony door at it expecting to see flames and billowing smoke. (in thinking about this sudden scorching odour, i realize two things happened between smell-less saturday and stinky sunday: 1) i washed my car; and, 2) i replaced the blinker bulb. i wonder if there's any correlation?)

one of the better things about yesterday was the presence of presents at my door when i arrived home. an amazon box! i ran inside and grabbed the scissors and cut open the packing tape. what i found: a book! in gift-wrap! from my minibits! that silly girl, she didn't have to buy me anything for making her page pretty. i can't wait to start it. mmm, books.
