what and why.

today i got up early, because i was awake.
today i mailed some packages, because i've been wanting to do that for ages.
last night i cleaned up my bookshelf, because it was in shambles.
today i stayed home from work, because i'm slightly concerned for the health of the world if i go out with a cough like this.
today the tree cutters chopped down our second-to-last big tree, because it was too far split to remain next to our house.
last night i found the pocket university, volume twenty-three, on my bookshelf, and today i am commencing following its lead, because i can.
today i am trying to figure out what to ask for my birthday, because we all know i get major anxiety about determining such things.
lately i have been reading and researching a lot about a lot of things, because i feel i need to understand.
soon i need to purchase a beautiful orange-red nail color, because having considered it for nearly three months, it is in fact a necessity of life.

and now, i will inform you how i feel about each of the aforementioned items:
responsible.
successful.
organized.
somewhat justified.
sad.
determined.
undetermined.
learning and growing.
nearly complete.
ha ha, just kidding but seriously on the last one.
