So: I will be doing my guestblogging starting tomorrow, yet I feel the need to write something here even though I don't have anything in particular to write about. Today has been a placid day. Squidge came home from her camping adventures; Jasper keeps poking me in the back through the slats of the computer chair, silly kitty that he is. For some reaosn he's decided that whomever is on the computer is the person he wants to pay attention to him, regardless of how many people are actually in the room. It was marginally more amusing earlier today when my dad was attempting to e-file our tax returns, as he did not take kindly to Jasper's attempts to procure some kittylove. Now Jasper is watching my mom build an archway for my grandparents' 50th anniversary party, which is still two months away. I was helping, but apparently I'm pretty useless at floral stuff.

Today was kind of a lonely day. I received a call from Benjamin, who wished to tell me the sordid details of his final days with Kori, which served only to confuse me. (In that he was more upset than I would have thought, but again, I need to remember that everyone's relationship looks improbable and insane from the outside). I've been thinking a lot lately, which also makes me melancholy...I'm losing a lot of my support systems right now (Gravity Man, Kori, Benjamin, Mathman, Angie) and it's hard not to feel aimless and a ittle lonely.

But as I was thinking these dark thoughts, I received a phone call from the lovely Judith, which made things better. THough she is in Vancouver, she's still my friend, and in many ways even more of a friend than before she left.

I didn't take any Tylenol Three today, and I'm very proud of myself for this. I can almost chew again!
