a few years ago, Eriko gave me a bracelet made of leather. i have worn it almost every day since then. today, as i was walking to work, i noticed that i didn’t have it on; i then proceeded to daydream about the next time i would wear it. tonight, i have scoured my home with no luck – i cannot find it. i can’t remember when i took it off last or whether it fell off. shucks.

i thought this weekend was the ideal for fast and solitude. based on my schedule, i though it would be the most free. i can’t do it, though. it looks like i’ll have to work most of the weekend. ..

i have no complaints, yet i feel irritated. today i start a 3 day fast, and look forward to some solitude.
