how do i pull it off? how do i look so svelte?
last night bean & i drafted the plans for a Responsible Life to be lived out in this house. i feel guilty for reducing her life to a schedule. she likes to wake & sleep & eat as she pleases, but if i waver from a careful routine i start feeling my arms lengthen & quiver & it may not sound like much but man it is creepy when you cannot trust the structure of your own arms.
� anyway now we have all manner of resolve to bring this Responsible Life to fruition. last night we stayed up two hours past the newly-scheduled bedtime talking about cloning. we don't know enough about cell biology to talk about cloning at all, but somehow we spent hours doing it, & suddenly it was after one in the morning.
(i am always a couple weeks ahead of, or behind, the new year, with the resolving, with the drafting of schemes.)
