On Thursday I came home from work, charged my empythree player and drove up to see raddidge. Our plan was to watch the lunar eclipse together up at the homestead. Unfortunately the clouds were heavy and we didn't get a good look at our closest natural neighbor as it moseyed through Earth's shadow.

Instead we went to Village Inn, talked and had some dinner. When we left the clouds started thinning and we were able to watch the moon emerge from its hiding place. On the drive home the sky became progressively clearer and I was able to watch the moon shine bright once more.

I learned that I really should not have onion rings and brownies because the combination makes me feel like I'm going to vomit. The gas is particularly vicious from the combination.

One thing that surprised me was the fact that people were reaching out to me even if it was in little ways. Jaybird (potentially) invited me over to the Birdhouse on Friday to celebrate the end of a week full of eleven hour days. I was surprised by the potential invite and the fact that I was able to handle it.

I don't know how to put it but I've been half-expecting people to just leave me be and being particularly pleased at having my space, peace and quiet. Funny thing is that I was happy to have the potential for a social call but not clamoring or being all desperate or turning it around into something bitter.

This is hard for me to write down since I'm pretty pedestrian as writers go these days. The long and short of it is that I found that I had experienced some growth.
