3 things

Chai tagged me for this, and at first I was so excited, like I was the first person to be picked for softball during recess, and then I thought, oh no, what if she meant her other friend Deb? and I had the feeling when you see someone and they smile and wave, so you smile and wave back and then they walk right by you....(this is known as overthinking things!) and then I decided I was overreacting, and that even if Chai did mean the other Deb that she would tell me she meant me....cause she's cook like that!
