For the record, my weight has been largely unchanged for the past couple of months. I lose a half pound; I gain a pound; I lose two pounds; I gain back a pound and a half ( Read more... )

Everything has been up and down, up and down. London was amazing (although up and down, up and down). I loved the tiny bit of the city that I saw but hardly saw anything at all. It was also great to see Kev, but the most valuable time was probably that which I spent alone ( Read more... )

Around 3:30 or 4 on Friday, Chris responded to my email, saying something like “it’s not that easy.” Was there anything easy about my suggestion that we go our separate ways and he seek therapy? Also, he wants us to talk on Tuesday. He basically said nothing, just that he doesn’t know what he wants and that he’d have a clearer head on Tuesday ( Read more... )

I got home from my movie night around 11:30 and got on Skype. Chris popped on a few minutes later. If I were home, I'd just paste the conversation that we had, but I don't have that privilege here, so, basically he said that he regretted dumping me and that he's pissed at his life.

No one will remember this but I wrote last summer about going on a lovely first date with a French guy named Renaud. We met one Saturday afternoon and had espresso and baguettes along with a nice conversation for a couple of hours, and then we parted with cheek kisses. He told me that we should meet up the following weekend and told me where and ( Read more... )

Leon emailed me over the weekend and also noted in his blog that Chester died. I was saddened by the news, but it’s been almost two years since I moved to Prague and, as Leon wrote, Chester really ceased being mine when I developed an allergy to the guinea pigs, so I feel pretty detached from it. You should read his post about it, but I’m writing ( Read more... )

At long last, I have a functioning bathroom scale that I can get on, get off of, and then get back on and replicate the weight that it displayed mere seconds before. Amazing ( Read more... )

Here’s the bulk of an email I received from Chris yesterday:

I wonder if there is ( Read more... )
