Pictures of you!

Notice? It's almost like a pharmacy. Well, I've been less than 100%
since Friday night, and I'm not sure why. Not being able to run into
CVS, Walgreens or even Ralphs, I am realizing things I would miss if
I had such symptoms.... Plus random things I already miss having
easy access to...

And then there are bigger things I miss having, like plush carpet, a
plush recliner in our huge living room, the plush sofas at Starbucks,
a bathtub, full walls, my car, the freedom to travel safely at any
given hour - alone and, simply, knowing what direction I'm headed
in. Bean and cheese burritos, horchata, Sharky's nachos, pho, sushi,
shaved ice, won ton noodle soup for $3, ha gao, sui mai, brie from
the wine and cheese shop, La Maschera pizza, lasagna or cauliflower
soup, Lee's Tofu, Jamba Juice, creamy ice cream, - just to name a few...

After all of my recent traveling, I'm finally settling in to my home
here.

... Though, I didn't miss the call to prayer blaring at 4 am, at
noon, at 3, at 5 or at 7, when we're in the middle of a dinner
conversation, a movie, or sleep.
