TWO MORE LETTERS TODAY!
Yesterday’s was written on the 16th, and now I have a combined letter of the 17th, 18th, and 19th, and one dated the 20th! I’m laughing so hard reading these! I can just hear his voice as I read these with the biggest grin on my face!

A word that does not exist in the English...
Ya’aburnee Arabic – Both morbid and beautiful at once, this incantatory word means “You bury me,” a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person because of how difficult it would be to live without them.
I love working the early morning shifts for new shipment because I get to see all of the new clothes that come in. We just received a lot of summer dresses and skirts this morning, and I want ALL OF THEM!

I need to hang my roses upside-down today so they can start drying. And stick some in books to flatted. I’m sad to see them go :(
I’m pretty sure I was paid last week, but I didn’t pick up my paycheck -__- I must check into that tomorrow. Then I can feel better about my bank account.

I’d like to be traced blindly by fingertips, because there are parts of faces you can only see by touching them. I’d like to know the names of every bone in the body - clavicle, atlas, radius - I’d teach them to you like they were poems embed them between your knuckles; store them in the knots of your spine.
