moment by moment

Yesterday, I sat at the top of a tiny little mountain, looking out over Universe City. A little ladybug crawled past, and my new friend said, "It's good luck." I held out my finger and the ladybug crawled on to it and lingered around the fingernail while we talked about life and its unexpectedness, how you move to a city on a whim or for work and your entire life becomes something different than ever you guessed it might be.

...

Today, I wore a pair of new shoes and immediately after work I went to the pharmacy and bought all of the following: triple-antibiotic ointment, thick foam bandaids, and heel-liners. So you can guess how well the new shoes worked, on their first day.
