we are the total of our longings

Reading The Summer Tree once again. These old Book Club editions, with the pictures of fantastic things. This old story. How much it means to me. I used to want to be Jennifer, but I know now how much it is that I'm more like Kimberly. Right down to the name. Kimberly is my middle name, after my mother's best friend.

The glass broke into the most beautiful shape and it's on my shelf in the bathroom.

The moment is passing you by...

Who is a trusted alley and who is the proverbial snake in the grass?
Well, even though the more egotistical side of yourself says
otherwise, you may not be in a very good position to make such
distinctions these next few days. Social relationships may get a
little confusing now as your head and your heart seem unable to agree
on just about anything. You may want to put a little more effort
toward maintaining the equanimity. If you don't, things could get out
of hand.

I still can't forgive myself for the lapses in my judgement, even if some of them were purely human. He and I talk about it, something like commiseration, and while nothing is ever resolved it seems less lonely. There are a few too many times I trusted, and a few too many when I should have kept my mouth shut. These regrets, they seem to be all I have sometimes.

It's okay though. We are resigned, or somehow accepting of our fate.

I'm doing my own laundry now, and waiting for Gene's pants to finish drying. Of all things, I mind laundry least. Probably because all I have to is fold it at the end. Spent $60 at the grocery store, and now there is food in the fridge and the cupboard. We still need to find a place to put the silverware; the drawers are too narrow for our tray.

Very grey. I was hoping for it to be sunny and warm, for swimming. Instead I think I'll curl up and read. Watch Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust again.
