Tonight I'm going to have Demeter bartend at
milliways_bar in honor of Felix Gaeta and the fact that I don't have to wake up terribly early tomorrow. I'm taking my car in for maintenance at 9:30 and then conferences don't even start until 2 pm, then at noon on Thursday.
I actually will have time to sleep and eat and read since I started My Life in France by Julia Child yesterday and love it. I want to be more like her, she was brave and daring with such a joy in how she lived her life.
I've decided to really embrace my latest horoscope from
Uncle Rob:
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The coming week will be an excellent time to
wash dishes, clean bathrooms, scrub floors, vacuum carpets, wash
windows, do laundry, and clean the refrigerator. The more drudge work
you do, the better you'll feel. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, you now
have astrological license to minimize your participation in boring tasks like
the ones I named. It's high time for you to seek out the most interesting
work and play possible.
I adore that phrase play possible and plan on trying to connect with people and write just be me for the break. My body's been feeling worn out and unhealthy of late, so there are going to be walks, because Spring is here, no matter the temperature.
Also since
dodger_sister was curious about it and I'm proud of what I have, here's a snippet of my
queer_fest story.
He had been inside Erik’s head but didn’t feel truly close to him but that was always complicated and more so with Erik as Charles knew that he wanted to know as much of Erik as he could. Yet that had always been a difficult dance to discover other men, the right signals to match the thoughts and the safe moments and Erik was Erik. His experiences made him truly himself and Charles wanted the intimacy of a mental and physical connection but felt unsure of how to proceed for fear of breaking the moments that held like this one.
