grateful for self-correcting and had a very successful thanksgiving and

birthday week (though i did binge last night while babysitting... old habit

it's true)... i know it is ok because today is not last night. and, i am

worth the amazing feelings ive been having lately.

may you all know peace! happy hannukah!
