In case any of you were wondering, here's an update on my life:
My mom is doing better, I suppose. She's starting to eat more. But, she's still sick.
And I met a guy recently and we had clicked so well, that only after about an hour of knowing each other, about a handful of people that we didn't know well had come up to the two of us and said "you guys are so cute and amazing together. how long have you two been with each other?"
