well, spring break

started out with me turning 19 on saturday, closely followed by 11 hours of driving. i really feel so old already, the number itself seems abitrary.

tried as much as i could to get my mom out of the house, but (very frustratingly to me) she's very content to stay inside. more on that later...

sunshine, little sister. not quite as warm in virginia as i would have expected.

did lots of cooking, including 2 batches of vegan ice cream, banana pecan and mocha. i always look forward to making up for lost time cooking delicious things while at home, much to the dismay of my father and siblings, who are staunch meat and carbs supporters.

most unfortunately, since my health insurance runs out later this week, in addition to getting a crown put in, i had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. the first day was miserable and bloody, and now i'm on my 4th day and still all swollen up and bruised. i haven't been to classes, but i'm going to start back tomorrow. it's amazing how people will behave- not looking me in the eye, trying to hide their staring. i've had time to think about it, and i've decided to try and brave it well, for the sake of my mother if nothing else. i may get a tiny taste of what she experiences every time she leaves the house.
