easta traffic in bahston...blows


took me six hours to get from westchester following my bunny day celebration with godparents to boston. it should take three. by hour five, after brilliantly chugging a canteen of coffee, i was jammed in deads topped traffic, six lanes across from a shoulder of the road, never mind an EXIT which i hadnt passed in ten miles and wouldnt be passing for another ten.
i.e. i was growing desperate for a bathroom.
so desperate in fact that i was honestly considering the anatomy/engineering involved in successfully using a footlong canteen with a one inch diameter opening...
idetermined that it would have involved rolling back the sunroof and sticking my head out while driving with my knees.

i held it.

L and i are officially running a hostel out of our house. weve had maybe two nights to ourselves over a ten day period. some of the circumstances bringing people to boston to crash with us have not been positive and i know L is about to plutz as my Gma would say, but its so good to be surrounded by activity and people we love. having a place where friends can crash is one of the best parts of this year/decisions that have led me here.
come stay with us this spring if you havent yet.
love
D

i still can't believe you held it. did you know that kidneys can actually explode. okay not really, but it just doesn't seem healthy to deny nature like that.
