So

today i made one of those “recovery kits”! it was fun to put together and i’m sure i’ll appreciate it soon enough. contents include:

comic books, most of which i haven’t read yet (i have a bad habit of buying comics and never reading them)

one of my few unread Bradbury books, “A Pleasure to Burn”

dvd of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which is a fun, relatively brainless movie for me

Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise for the DS

a notebook---with the previous contents taped together, so i can’t easily go through them and potentially find shit that might bring me down further, and crayons/pencils. i’d like to get some coloring pages in here soon

a lush bath bomb thing

some notes from friends

tennis ball for squeezing/back pain

my favorite stuffed animal, Hobbes

x2 nail polishes

lemon tea and fruit snacks

and those little putty earplugs that do an amazing job of blocking out sound
