Things I'm thankful for :)

1. Dogs - especially ones who whine ecstatically when they see me
2. Men who like big words - mostly because it means they're not afraid of me
3. Doctors - especially those who trust me
4. Art - because where would we be without really great nudes?
5. Insulin - cuz it's awesome; you should try it sometime
6. My poems - especially since I don't show them to anyone anymore
7. My job - because I love it, and I'm really good at it
8. Natalie Merchant - playing in my car all month
9. Rainer Maria Rilke - who always inspires me
10. All of the wonderful, brilliant, interesting people in my life - I love you all

Ah...sleep :)

Have you heard how wonderful sleep is? I've just gotten back on the train, and boy it is fantastic! Those dark circles? Gone. The hallucinations? Also gone. And the dreaming is wonderful again. No more wandering in dark forests. Sleep: It's a beautiful thing. I think I'll start an ad campaign. I am still watching Mad Men. After my "Get Sleep" campaign, I'll start my awesome "Get Insulin" campaign. Insulin? Do you have it? Because if you don't, you're really missing out. Insulin: It's a beautiful thing.

Peace out. I'm off for coffee with my favorite sleeper extraordinaire.
