My sister is sleeping soundly on my futon as I write this. I am so happy she�s here. We went to Charlie�s last night for double cheeseburgers and beer. My sister loves Charlie�s as I knew she would. We stayed up late talking and then we watched Elizabeth before going to bed.

Today we are going grocery shopping�it�s nice to go grocery shopping again with someone. I�m not sure why�there�s something about it that is so warm and familiar. We also might see a movie. Then, I am taking her over to the Stupid Company for her interview training session (she�s working there part time for spending money while she does her music internship at Berklee). I�m sort of interested to go back there and see what the new office looks like. Maybe I�ll even run into Seth whom I haven�t see in a long time and miss a great deal.

I love the view from my bedroom window and the spider web crack in the glass pane. I love the sounds from the street at dawn and I love getting chai lattes for a dollar at the place next store. I love that I can now share all these things with my sister. I just wish she would fucking wake up so we can go out and enjoy the day.
