remembering toto...

dear unnie,

it was far worse than i thought.
after crying buckets and buckets of tears -

1. i shut my eyes tight and tried to think happy thoughts.
2. i tried to watch women's figure skating with as much enthusiasm as i could manage.
3. i downed some whiskey.

but it wasn't enough.

so the next best thing i could think of was to hang out in the kitchen. you know that cooking and cleaning are really the only ways i can distract myself from those vicious and heartbreaking days. so i made some feta arugula pizza for you and me. then i decided to bake mourning cookies for toto. within an hour our barely-nine-hundred-square-feet apartment was filled with the smell of fresh baked peanut butter cookies. i know toto would have liked it very much.

and suddenly i felt a little teeny bit better. i hope you did, too.
