the first update i did for the 微笑牆 (volunteer news/bulletin-board). i didn’t see the typo till later.

—

end the night with something positive. tomorrow sleep in for change. then write up my resolutions and get on with things. everything is gonna be alright. i want to go to the bookstore. my eyes hurt. goodnight.

my arch nemesis these days. my own nose and 鼻竇炎 (Sinusitis). the sinus headaches that feel like migraines and the fact that i have to keep a hanky on me all the time are a pain. but there could be worse problems. today i am feeling a little better even though i didn’t sleep much last night. i believe it was the rinsing with salt water action that did it. thanks mom for the call this morning. i was a little grumpy because of a lack of sleep. sorry.

Sally Brown’s brother, Charlie Brown, was so pleased and proud when she was born that he passed out chocolate cigars. Since then he’s been trying to understand her. She always looks for the easy way out, particularly at school, where her view of life reflects much of the frustration and confusion kids experience. Her speech is riddled with malapropisms. Uninhibited, and precocious, she has a schoolgirl crush on Linus, her “Sweet Babboo.” She may never win Linus’ heart, but she has her big brother wrapped around her little finger. Sally, writing letters or doing homework, causes pain and joy to her fans in roughly equal proportions.
