Random

Yesterday was 11 months. My mom came through town and it was a good way to spend the day.

Last evening was also the reading and book signing of David Sedaris. When I bought the tickets, I knew it fell on the 11 month time marker, but thought it was fitting to go anyway. I'd never read anything of his before last December, and a friend sent me one of his books. It made me smile, even if just for a moment, during those first weeks after Lyra died. I've read many of his books since then, and thought it'd be a nice way to finish out another month gone by with some deep belly laughs from his reading, facial expressions, diary snippets, and jokes.

Below is my signed page. I had my water bottle with me, and it was his conversation starter with me. It's nice he takes the time to write something more than just his signature. Plus, I like random, so it works well :)

  3. Nice! A colleague of mine gave me a couple of his books to read after Acacia died when I asked her for something funny. He brought some smiles to my face too. Thinking of you as another month milestone is marked.

  5. I have got to borrow one of his books from you, I've been wanting to read him for awhile now & can definitely use laughs! I had no idea he was going to be in the area! Thankful the 11mth mark was gentle for you.
