Cookies n' chemo

Since my mother now reads this blog, I feel obligated to inform her that her worst fears about my going away to college have finally come true: Yes, I did in fact eat cookies for dinner tonight. They were delicious, if slightly cakey. I need to learn not to second-guess the recipe. Just because the dough seems too goopy does not mean that more flour is needed.

Food that I need to make in the next few days so that today's groceries will not go to waste:
-Pumpkin Pie
-Zucchini Bread
-Spaghetti Squash
-Pad Thai
-Something With Quite A Lot Of Spinach In It

My friend and as-of-this-afternoon roommate Sonnet is going in on Friday to get a malignant tumor removed from her ovary. It's interesting how her response has informed my own. It wasn't until today when somebody said "Holy shit, [Sonnet], you have cancer!" that it really occurred to me how serious it really is. Because this whole time her attitude has been "Well, it's in a really early stage, and after the surgery I'm just going to need a couple rounds of chemo, and it will be fine," it never occurred to me that the really important words in that sentence are not just and a couple and early, they're surgery and chemo. Or maybe it actually is the other way around; it just never occurs to us to think of it that way. Anyway, we're just assuming everything's going to be ok. And I think it will. But a couple of prayers couldn't hurt.

man, am i ever jealous of your groceries. am hatching plan to grow wings and fly cross-continental and move in and eat your food.
also, i'm glad there is another sonnet in my brain life now, because it's got to be one of the most beautiful names ever and i don't have the most positive associations with it up to this point...
