Today has been a mixture of sadness and of achievement. This morning I got up when the alarm went off to take our guest, L - who has been here for three weeks - to the airport. In the time she's been with us there has been cleaning and cooking, misunderstanding and reconciliation, beatings and cuddles, sex and shopping, make up, dressing up and sleeping. We've been out, stayed in, had people round and gone to visit friends. We've all been to munches and clubs, she went to a concert. We've spent time together and apart and it has, overall, been good.
So this morning I was sad to see her go, but at the same time it does mean life can go back to as normal as it ever gets around here.
After dropping her at the airport at horrid o'clock I detoured round by the Domly One's house, where I slipped into bed with him and did some more sleeping before getting up for my second breakfast of the day.
This afternoon and evening there has been shed base building, motorcycle repair and cleaning as well as shopping, cooking, cleaning. I've been given a present and been invited to a party.
Now I'm knackered. I want to go to bed to sleep but it is still a bit too early. If I go now, I don't sleep well, and so the whole cycle repeats. In a little while I'll go to bed with my book. I'll probably fall asleep on the page but at least I'll know I'm tired enough to sleep by then
