it's a moody, overcast day in the charlottesville area.
i am working a closing shift at rebecca's this evening, so spent the morning running errands and hanging out at the twisted branch tea bazaar. i love this place. it is very much like a cafe in dharamsala called khana nirvana. it's a total hippy haven, with the smells and sounds of india. there is funky artwork all around, shelves displaying teapots of various influence, lots of dark wood and pillows and fabric and hookahs and altars. and they make a mean chai. at the bottom of my teapot was a huge slab of ginger.
a cause for celebration: last night i sewed up a pair curtains for the first time ever! i cut a sari scarf of dark greyish khadi fabric in two, and finished it off so each panel could slide and bunch up on a curtain rod. the color works well in our bright yellow living room. with each churn of my sewing machine i am filled with domestic euphoria. and we can finally take down the make-shift tibetan cloth door that doesn't belong in a window anyway.
ok, so maybe i don't have a whole lot to talk about.

Zoe, I finally found the time to read most of your blog (including the older stuff!) I never realized just how good of a writer you are. You are particularly good at projecting your emotions through your descriptions. While I was reading about your anniversary, I could picture you and Dan walking slowly down the road, while Tashi was happily being a child out on an adventure. At the same time I just felt your sadness at not being able to do more and yet I could tell that you still relished the time that you and Dan were able to spend together. It was really cool. You have a great gift!! Keep writing and I'll keep reading.
Devin.
gee thanks devin! i'll keep writing!
DUDE! Isn't the Twisted Tea Branch just like Khana Nirvana?!
SUZANNE.
