catherine bought a new car yesterday. it's a shiny silver toy and runs along really quietly and smoothly like a pleasant dream. she's been sighing a lot of contented sighs and has been exuding happiness all over the place. we wagged a tute this afternoon and drove to williamstown for ice cream. we talked and looked at the sea and the approaching storm clouds. it was a much better way to spend an afternoon then listen to case presentations...
lots of people have been buying/thinking of buying new toys lately. many people have said we should spend the money because we've earned it. i don't know if i deserve anything... i haven't worked particularly hard in the last six years, except in the last month of my ams year. i haven't done anything for anyone and i know so pitifully little, and so much has already been given to me: the privilege to listen to other people's secrets, the right to be present when someone is dying or being born, the power to change someone's life.
