derien | terribly moody, today

I'm blaming it at least in part on the weather - it started sunny and promising to be warm, and I went out for a wonderful breakfast and a short walk with Caw, but turned chilly and overcast after

eor went to sleep (around noon). I keep telling him that it does this every weekend day, but he doesn't believe that he's not missing anything because it stays sunny until he goes to sleep.

Then I got email from my brother saying he's now not planning on coming back to Maine to live for a couple of years, but just visit for 2 months this summer. This bummed me out. I mean, I know I should be glad if he comes to visit and I get to spend some time with him, and I will be, but it had crossed my mind to put in for a transfer to New Orleans and I didn't do it at least in part because I thought he'd be here for the next couple of years. Now the transfers have been stopped again. Oh well. I just have to tell myself they may start doing transfers again, someday.

The good point of my day - saw

lemondropgirl in the grocery store and got a hug from her.:) It's probably obvious to anyone who gets/gives hugs with me that hugging is not the most natural thing for me, but I'm trying to get more comfortable with it. And somehow when I saw her, looking a little racoon-eyed, and I know she's had a rather hard week, my first thought was that I wanted to give her a hug. And then I didn't - we had a little conversation like one tends to have in the store, and went our seperate ways. It kept nagging at me, though, so when I saw her again I made a dash by and did a kind of hug-and-run thing. :)

Now I really should do some dishes - I suppose

eor might wake up, soon, and probably be hungry as a bear. I still haven't really worked off that breakfast.
