"They Always Try to Teach the Wrong Lesson..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Oh, and I bought a blanket! All by accident.

I met Shirley's daughter Karen at work to-day, and she was sitting in the activity room crocheting, and I admired her work enthusiastically, whereupon she promised me that she would save the one she was working on especially for me. She's only taking ten dollars for it, too, which is so kind of her because I can't imagine how much she must sell them for normally. She said a lady paid her forty dollars for one just the other day. But mine is pink and purple and cream-coloured, with a big patch in the middle of multi-coloured pastels. It's absolutely beautiful, and I'm so excited.

Pretty things make me so happy, and touchable things, too. I still love my moon-snails blanket that I got for Christmas. And Mum bought golden leaf-patterned cloth and little white flower buttons at Ben Franklin's (because it's going out of business) to make me a dress with, a spring dress, and I think it will be the most beautiful dress imaginable.

...In a very short time, I shall wear nothing but dresses. This is a startling but entirely possible thing.

Who will give me a hug? O! Who will give Soujin a hug?
