after jasmine left yesterday, i took my notebook up to the bedroom to sit at my newly-placed desk. a big wooden chair (one of three that we found in a garbage pile on the other side of the bridge) was put in front of the desk when we set up the work corner. so i sat on it for the first time! ... and it broke from underneath me. turns out it was in the garbage for a reason. go figure.
sitting on the lopsided seat and doing most of the work with my own feet, i looked up at the wall in front of me. nailed in a line were five folded letters, each with a date and "to merryn" written on the front - one for each day jasmine is gone. i took the first, labeled "july 12 209 to merryn". inside it explained that each letter had a note and an impro task that i was to take on.
you can imagine what the next few days of blogging will be about ...
but first: more pictures! at dear chenoah's request, i will go on the hunt for shots of me & jasmine dancing.
