Thanks for the birthday and get well wishes I got over the past few weeks. Feels good to be loved!

Things have been looking up lately, I find myself out of the depression funk I was some time ago. An imminent trip to Italy, the baptism of DeeVa, getting to hang out with my boyfriend for a whole lazy day and the probability that this will be available for the general public to apply in December have lifted my spirits considerably.

The baptism of DeeVa, my goddaughter, went smoothly. It was the first time I carried her in my arms, since I am paranoid that I will let her fall/ my skinny unpadded arms are too uncomfortable for babies to sleep on/ getting imaginary germs on delicate constitutions. She was a real trooper and did not cry more than usual while I held her. It seems to me that she is getting the hang on living quickly and has decided that it is her minions' duty to tend to her every need and whim. NOW! Oh, dear!
