other than a hallucination that I think K's partner C was telling me to stop undermining him, has been a fun day, but I'm crashing now, it's been too much extroversion, and then too much vertical hiking, my body is so tired ( Read more... )

Spent yesterday afternoon outside with K and Jay, mostly at a beer/arts/music festival, mostly in the shade. Then we took a break before heading to K's 50th birthday party at a wine bar, which was fun :-) I was so social ( Read more... )

I'm not sure how long he stayed up by himself, but I slept for around 9 hours? When I got up in the middle of the night to take medicines he was still awake listening to music ( Read more... )
