Wherein Bry needs a hug.

"I need an attitude adjustment. I'm going to go take some coffee now."

I know people who use "attitude adjustment" to mean "smoke weed," but coffee is my drug of choice and this morning I was about two short fuses away from borrowing a needle from one of our resident diabetics and shooting it into the bottom of my foot.

I had a brief reprieve from my Jekyllian self when I booked a plane ticket to Boston and again when AM steered me towards an ARC of Wild Things by Dave Eggers.

But shortly after that I was back to what I like to refer to as "Bry is a fucking crazy bitch."

Contributing factors:

Right now I really want to be at home with my family who, for the second time in 3 months, are in Montana at the same time.

I feel like I am in limbo, with no set decisions on where I am living after April.

I saw KT on Saturday and just seeing her shiny face reminded me how few people in this world love me unconditionally and it sucks that I don't see those people more often.


Growing pains and kite strings are a bitch.


And now, to cheer YOU up, my favorite customer interaction so far this week.

A little girl with Autistic markers approached me in the kid's section and asked if we had any posters. "Like Hannah Montana posters."

"I'm sorry, we don't."

"Do you sell Disney posters?"

"No."

"Do you sell New Moon posters?"

"I'm not sure. We might be out," I told her.

"Well what DO you sell?"

"Books."

"Oh."

We did find a New Moon poster and she was happy. But it made me smile and wish a poster was the only thing I wanted in this world.
