Analysis

It's very strange how early morning and late night are so reliable as the times I'll get unhappy. Morning is worse than night, because at night I can say, "It's almost tomorrow, go to sleep" to myself and do that, but in the morning I just have to bull through it until everyone wakes up and does all there stuff and then I finally get to see them. There's no quick way to get through all that.

I'm realising that I may need to reconsider some stuff with the Juggler while I'm otherwise-single, as there's a lot of support he can't provide in his current position and some of the stuff I do with him makes me uncertain such that I need that support. If I cut that stuff out, it might simplify things.

My problem is that I tend not to like making sacrifices for the sake of simplification. That's what poly's all about -- complexity. :/

I'm spending a lot of time wanting to hide otu in a cave or something in the last few days, and wanting to be around people at the same time. It's that same thing that's bothering me -- the complexity of interacting with people is a little beyond me right now.

Bah. I think I need a day off. I think I have one Thursday, though, so that's fine.

Other news: the new betta is doing very well, his find have all perked up and hes swimming around very actively in his new home. I need to get him some real plant material, though. His tank came with some hideous orange plastic things. His hobbies include glaring at things, attacking the filter, trying to build bubble nests that get wiped out by the filter, and making threatening runs at the glass. I bet there's a bit of a reflection there.

No idea how the plants are doing yet.

I also have a day off Thursday. Do you want to *gasp* actually spend time together?

That might be nice. We'll see if it stays free. :/

So, do you guys manage to spend less time together now that you are living in the same house?

And BTW, are the plums all gone?

We kind of time share....Friday we were both home at the same time, but distracted by our individual male guests. Silly boys!

About the same amount of time, in smaller chunks.

We managed a couple of hours one weeknight so far, I think.

I didn't see any plums on a quick glance up into the tree this morning, and _greenwitch_ said she got the last of 'em. So, it may be. :(

PS: I watered 2 of your African violets today b/c they booked bone-dry. it was 2 of the babies.

Oh, thanks. They're confusing me - they shouldn't have much in the way of roots to fill the pot and drink all the water yet, and most don't, but some ehave erratically.

Ahwell, erratic's why we love living things. ;)

I thought poly was supposed to be about love, friendship, and a network of relationships - not complexity :b...... Sounds like your ideal situation would be to hang out with quiet people while each doing your own thing - no interaction required unless required :)

I had a great time on Saturday despite the heatstroke :) I cleaned the huckleberries, and we have a generous six cups to make a batch of jam with, when we schedule the time.

Take care, and call if you need to talk - even if it's four o'clock in the morning.
