some presents find you

one of those presents i was worried about just showed up in the most pleasantly unexpected way. but this is beside the point.

the point is that i slept soundly last night for the first time in more than a week. a dreamy, dreamless eight hours that left me wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. if this were last year, i would wake in the morning and go work at a soup kitchen. but, as fate would have it, my tomorrow will be spent instead with world champion ballroom dancers. weird.
