Christy came to see me quite suddenly. I hurriedly cleaned up our house, which looked nothing like anything I've ever seen, and ran around trying to get myself ready. The doorbell rang before I could get a sweater on. She came in with 2 guys I didn't know - don't think either of them was Dav. She'd road-tripped down. We immediately launched into an ecstatic conversation. Dan was there. I kept noticing all these things I should have done, like vacuuming, and said them out loud. She was incredibly energetic and had the greatest voice. She was incredibly magnetic. The 2 guys faded into the background as we spoke. A twin daybed-thing needed making, and she and I had the same idea at the same time, to make it in some certain way. She kept trying to explain it and I kept saying Yes! Exactly! and we made the bed together, nearly exactly in tandem. She and Dan kept mmming in anticipation of the comfort we would experience once we all flopped onto it.

Christy had already set out a bunch of Mexican food she'd brought - corn tortillas in foil that smelled like tamales and such - on this window ledge thing built into the wall that extended all the way around the room. We were chattering about anything and everything when I suddenly asked her, How did you end up coming all the way down here? and as she started to explain, she got on the phone with someone and was talk talk talking to somebody - only thing I could make out was that she had heard her brother screwed someone over and she was going to find out for sure if he did.

Then Dan woke me up. Dang, did that ever seem real. I was so hyper that my heart was beating fast.
