He has told me that I'm super smart and beautiful.

because he's smrt.

All is well for the patient and the transport driver. She's still in ICU but taking phone calls and I am informed she is in good spirits. Now I can rest. thanks for the good wishes.

Y'all are keeping me good company at Edgefield, where I am here by myself. Usually I'm happy as can be to be here by myself, and I don't mind, exactly, but I had such good times the last three years with an old friend last year, and two new friends that I made in the hostel/dorm the prior two years...it's kind of boring for once, and I wish I could blink myself home instead of having such a long drive to get there.

I can't do what Laura just did. It takes me a week to drive the 12 hrs from SF to near Portland. I've been kind of sick since Ashland, maybe that's why. Can you get mono twice?

Also drunkish girl talking very loudly and fast just invaded my formerly quiet porch, where I intended to start reading Exit West, but am instead feeling like I do have community here instead.

I don't know about getting it twice, but it can last a really long time.

I had it in the early 80s, and I'm wondering if I have it again. I thought it was an ear infection from swimming in Ashland. Talked to my Dr on the phone, but he thought it was a virus. It could still be that, if they take, what, ten days to two weeks to go away. He wanted me to go see an urgent care doctor, which I refused of course.

You can get it twice. (I had it senior year of high school and then senior year of college.) The only way to be sure of the diagnosis is the blood test.

A virus can easily linger for 2 weeks, so it may be that.

Doggos, please pee so I can go to bed.

Roommate, ugh. Saw him briefly tonight (as his bf arrived AGAIN) and noted that I had called and texted him with no response, and he mumbled some bs excuse without making eye contact. Clearly he used his phone today, unless he is communicating with his boo via smoke signals.

If the lease is up in October, when can I start talking to him about moving out? August?

In happier news, the boy and I are getting gelato tomorrow night in the Quarter. I will actually put on a dress and makeup this time, because I want to. There may well be kissing.

I hope there is kissing.

My mom's sister has been visiting and it's been great but I'm ready for my routine again.

Also somehow guys on POF are messaging me again. One seems nice. He sent me a message with complete sentences.

Kissing! Kissing this guy seems like a very good idea. Convincing wanker roommate to move out asap also seems like a very good thing.
