If you're using me, do it slowly. Make it last until I have to go.

I don't feel very well, suddenly, this evening. I think I've stressed by body too much over the last 24-hours. I haven't slept much at all, and I was out in the cold a lot. I really should crawl in bed, and I don't think my body wants to hear another word about it.

Adri's father was in an accident, today. His car was struck by a train, going 140kph. Apparently he was in bad shape. She seemed to be reacting like.... well, like someone whose dad was just nearly killed. I hope that he recovers, for her sake. I hope that she finds comfort in whatever she must.

Sometimes I am surprised by how closely my voice resembles my dad's. Sometimes I say something and it's like I can hear him. I wonder, when he dies, what that will be like; hearing the voice of a ghost, coming from my own lips.

I can't wait until my family is all in town. My cousins really are a lot of fun. My cousin Sara and I used to bicker something awful at times, growing up. We were the exact same age; she was the youngest, and I was an only child. I think that left us both kind of headstrong and independent, which left us battling for leadership. But now, she and I get along quite well, and it's really refreshing.
I can't wait. To see all of them. We're going to all have so much to share.
