Charlotte Bronte...

Her tiny, melodramatic magazine. Aged 14.

I love it that it exists. I hope the museum gets it, and that I will get to see it.

But even just knowing it exists is enough.

Sanpellegrino Aranciata Rossa

Remember how happy I was to find another soft drink I love, Sanpellegrino Chinotto?

Imagine my joy to see that Hartman's sells Sanpellegrino - and for sixty cents per can less than Nicastro.

Imagine my partial disappointment to see several flavours, but not Chinotto. Oh well, says I, ever the optimist, maybe I'll like Aranciata Rossa too. So I bought a can to go with lunch.

Is it as good as Chinotta? Not half. Is it drinkable? Sure. But not worth breaking my almost-sugar-free diet for.

Working...

For an unemployed person I have an amazing amount to do.

Four, count 'em, four, part-time casual do-on-my-own time jobs, some at home, some at offices; and my own free-lance writing; and the unemployment people have okayed me. Already. I may have too much income from casual jobs to get anything from them at present, but that's okay, too.

I'm loving this.

I'm not making enough to live on long-term or to save money, but it means I can eat and pay the rent for now - and it's more fun than a real job.

Happy Thanksgiving...

Wishing all my American friends a day full of love, happiness, good food, laughter, and gratitude.

Wishing all my non-American friends the same thing, too.
