Happy Solstice
...or, as I always think, Joie to you on the Longest Night! Robot Hugs naturally has a new comic with the solstice snakes.
Work is finally winding down. I had a very chill day today, complete with lunch with an old friend and and a massage. The massage therapist found a couple of places in my back and armpit where I have some nerves bound up with muscle in a surprisingly janky way... time to do some resting, it seems, or more regular bodywork for a while.
A few things are really good.
First, there was a thing on Monday that sent me into tears and panic the last time it happened, and did not this time. I don't know why it was easier, and maybe I don't entirely care.
Second, I like this FWB thing with Lion. We'd been hanging out a fair amount before the benefit part started, and I really hadn't realized how much energy I was expending on not flirting, not staring, not acting like a creep. Now I can just relax and like him. I just mean little things -- like, if we're having coffee, I can watch his hands on the cup without worrying about staring. It's just so much more relaxed.
Third, taking yesterday off work to hang with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
apfelsingail was OF COURSE the bomb. We went to the gym and two bookstores, and spoke of many things. Among these, how 2017 went for us. I was surprised to find some major victories lurking there, in a year I had viewed as pretty rocky overall. It's not over yet, but when it is, it won't have been all bad.
As the light returns: more of all of the above, please.
