June 12

I spent the day with my grandmother on this day. This was also technically yesterday, but because I haven't slept yet, it is just this past day.


My grandmother is the only person I know who sits closer to the steering wheel than I do. She is almost 89, and she is really tiny. She also sits on a pillow and is very sweet.

She took me to lunch at a place that her friend likes, but her friend is also very old and unfortunately, doesn't have fabulous taste. It was... okay. I had a Reuben that I left in her car, it was that amazing.

However, there were these pretty and interesting flowers:





I then napped on her couch for a few hours, which I do pretty often. Her couch used to belong to her mother, or to my grandfather's mother, and it has greenish upholstery with Chinese knots embroidered into it, with a scalloped back and thin, hard arm rests. And it is so goshdarn comfortable. Puts me straight to sleep.


She then imparted on me my favorite of all of her many paperweights. I like it because it looks like a sea urchin.


Yes, I call her Noni.
