By Lucy I lost interest in my gentleman caller already. I hadn’t really decided what my interest was in him… there was some chemistry there, but I’m sure I don’t want to engage in another relationship. And there was something about him that set off red flags in my mind. I’m sure I recall someone…

By Lucy They cancelled Colbert. I almost started crying when I heard. It was like hearing someone had died. I screamed, confusing everyone in the lunch room, then I went outside and screamed some more. All the guys were having a smoke around the corner. “What are you losing your mind about?” Terry asks. “What…

By Lucy Mini update! I don’t scream this enough but I am actually Acadian. In 1605, a group of French Settlers settled in what is now the Annapolis River valley basin and created a fort called Port Royal. Those first few years were brutal as they came to grips with the harsh Canadian winters, and…

By Lucy Work is better this week. It’s hard to tell if it’s really improved or if I just perceive it being better because I no longer feel like I can leave. Terry certainly does not feel like it’s gotten better, which is causing some friction between us. Pain is curious, isn’t it? There’s been…

By Lucy All smiles, I know what it takes to fool this townI’ll do it ’til the sun goes down and all through the night-time Let me tell you a story. Prompted, of course, by Andrej’s comment on my last post. I’ve always struggled with loneliness. When I was a small child, playing on my…

By Lucy Jeremy wanted to come over Sunday, so I told him he could come over right away when I woke up or later on in the evening, because around 5 I was going down for a nap. He came by right away. As we talked, the conversation turned to what’s in the news. “I…

By Lucy It occurs to me that a lot of people are devoted to me, even if it isn’t romantic or sexual. Me and Jeremy hang out at least once a week and usually more often. Me and Paul don’t necessarily hang out once a week, but we do talk quite a bit. Chris, who…

By Lucy I woke before my alarm on Thursday, always a good sign. Pack the last couple of things, wash my last few dishes. Pull my improvised ice pack out of the freezer and throw it in the insulated bag with my perishables. Deepak messages me before it’s even 6. He’s in a hurry. I…

By Lucy I’m starting to feel back to normal. I’ve gone back to measuring out exactly two shots into my drink before bed, although I’m not sure there’s a point in drying out before I leave again. I know Duff’s gonna wanna stay up drinking into the night; might be better served preserving my tolerance.…

By Lucy I wasn’t expecting this reaction. Tidying helps. I pack up my belongings. One thing he didn’t tidy up was the collection of cans, some half-full. I gather them up and dump out the half-full ones. He forgot a few things, one of them the “lease” for the hotel room. For an address, he…
