I think I'm better now... for a while I was in such pain. I wish I had the constitution not to get sick. I'm ashamed, really, of my weakness. My hands are soft today, but still discolored.

I am slightly more than halfway through the D. H. Lawrence. There's much to say, and yet not much. Where, oh where, did Mr. Lawrence learn the truth? How did he manage to photocopy my soul and flatten it into book form? I think that anyone wanting to marry me should be required to read this book. (Matt should read it, too. I think he would feel the same way about it that I do.) Finaly, someone understands the bizarre purity issue! And the absorptive soul-sucking issue! However, I am taking a break from it because it's overwhelming.

Now I have to fill out my customs declaration...
