talking to lulu about some stuff she's going through. it's calming to talk to someone about a problem they're having (rather than examine any of mine in any depth) and to try to help her feel better. it helps two people. maybe more.
but i would never want to be a therapist! just friends with people. just kindly and patient and bumblingly helpful. like the englishman said, it makes my heart smile. like the englishwoman said, people who meddle too much in other people's affairs often end up like Emma. (the englishman being david gahan. the englishwoman being jane austen.)
i'm tired. fragments are tripping through my head and i could stay up to try to work them into something, but not staying up til dawn is part of the New Responsibility (such as it is). & I always keep in mind that I have to be up by 8AM several days per week. sleep being a luxury is a luxury i can't afford, so i give up others, like staring bleary-eyed at a pad of paper and a pencil as the sun comes up. a little less creativity for a little more health. it's a deal i can handle right now.
