Not without my sister....

Today I took a walk to clear my head of the madness that is currently Adam and Anastasia's life. I wandered and wandered until I came upon a park. There were two little girls playing on the swings with their mom watching close by. I have not spent a great deal of time with children so I decided to sit in the park for a while and observe. You may expect that I have a cute tale to tell, or an observation that I had never experienced before, but no. Nothing. They played. It was cute, until one started pushing the other, and then there was the screaming and the scolding from the clearly agitated mother. I left the park feeling a little sad that I did not have a sister myself to torment as a child. 

I have not received anything in the mail or by courier today. I find this somewhat disappointing. My flowers are still looking very happy in the window and Sadie commented on their rarity. Apparently she used to work in a flower store. Is there nothing that woman hasn't done?

Construction has begun on my kitchen. It appears as though it is going to be takeout for the next month. I spoke to my father yesterday and he suggested a trip home for a while until my kitchen is complete. I thanked him for the offer, but declined. My writing is actually going quite well now. Adam has introduced drugs into the relationship and Anastasia is just beginning to feel her way around whether or not she wants to do them herself. As a character, I am finding her to be the most intriguing woman I have ever written about....
