(7am) TGIF!
(6pm) Busy day!
I am tired! (I woke up at 4am and have been dragging all day.)
I must admit I find myself wondering if I should chase Erica now that she is breaking up with Henry; but she has made it excruciatingly clear that she doesn’t want more than friendship, so I won’t. (She has been a great friend, and I don’t want to mess that up.) (And, ultimately, we wouldn’t get along in a more serious relationship.)
Erica says she doesn’t cry when she fights with Henry, but it’s obvious she is sad. (e.g., Miranda’s comment that Erica was depressed.)-(e.g., she left me a note last week saying she was depressed.) (Tis therapeutic to cry, and she should stop holding it in.) (I have shed my share of tears over the years and I know there are more to come.)
Well, this is going to be a blasé Friday nite. (I have been spoiled lately by all the company!)
(7pm) Here are a couple good quotes from "Readers Digest":
Cyril Connolly – "The particular charm of
marriage is the dialogue, the permanent conversation between two people who talk over
everything and everyone."
Louis L'Amour – "No memory is ever alone;
it’s at the end of a trail of memories, a dozen trails that each have their own
associations."
(10pm) Quiet nite of music and reading. (Nice!)
D O is still out. (This makes three nites in a row now of all niters for her.)
8-13-88
(8am) D O finally showed up while I was taking a bath. (I hope she was having fun!) (In part I am worried about her being ok, but I suppose I miss her companionship too. (Oh well, I am used to being alone, and I have got to let her be who she is.))
(9am) I hope Miranda and Danny work things out. (They seem like a good couple.) (Oh well, that is for them to figure out.)
When Miranda and Charlotte call, it takes me a few minutes to figure out who is calling. (They sound a lot alike over the phone.) (I sound a lot like my dad on the phone.)
