the morning

so i'm sitting outside the clinic, a strange shakiness after getting my flu shot - you're supposed to get it when you're healthy, but i suspect my level of health has been reduced merely by sharing such close breathing space with decidedly germy people...

i was woken this morning by my sister - her boyfriend of seven years proposed to her yesterday morning! i'm really happy for her, because things haven't always been so good and she really deserves better. and the acknowledgement of his commitment is meaningful.

after last night's revelation i'm on wheels today. now i just have to wait a little more before i continue on to the uphill.
could i please stop shaking now?
