taking baby steps towards healing

My mom said something rather insightful yesterday that I would like to share with you guys:

"Kia treats her friends just like she treats everything else in her life; disposable."

Cleaning's going fairly well. We've washed every piece of fabric in that room to try and get rid of the smell. We're going to wash the walls and steam clean the carpet as soon as we get a chance, too. So far, mom's used like half a bottle of fabreeze to try and kill the smell in the couch and carpet and the window is open to help with that.


So mom and I went out shopping yesterday, which was nice and relaxing. And after my pathfinders, I went to the library and got myself out a couple of Xanth books (by author Piers Anthony; it's a really funny series. I sold all mine, but wish I had them back now. :() and the two Anne Rice books that I don't actually own. (Yes there's only two I don't own lol) So I have some nice reading ahead of me, which is wonderful. Reading is so relaxing. One of my favourite things to do.


Mmn. The fresh air smells so nice I think I'll open my window, too.


Oh! My mom bought me a potted daisy yesterday to help brighten up my room. It's this gorgeous shade of salmony pink. Hopefully I won't kill it like I have so many other potted plants... >.>; But I now have 2 plants in my room and that makes me happy. :)
