Plans have been made for the four-day holiday weekend. Tomorrow, my office will close two hours early. I'll leave at 3:30 and meet Adam, and then we'll gather various people and head to the party being thrown by Cliff and his boyfriend Michael.

In the meantime, I hurt. I managed to fend off the worst of a mild migraine earlier. My right knee is aching. My left hip is aching. My neck is stiff.
But it could be worse, therefore I am relieved.

I'm looking forward to the party with something close to desperation. I keep forgetting how much I need to be with people nowadays. I had a dream last night in which Adam and I were hanging out with Cynthia and Twig, and I realized how much I wanted to see them, beyond a large gathering of dozens of people; I've never actually gotten to know those two as much as I wanted and they're two people I really would want to be so close to.
I realized that beyond Charlotte and Billy, I have no friends physically close by that I can turn to when I need closeness. Most of the geographically close friends I have live in Virginia, and they have so many friends that I tend to feel that I'd be intruding if I asked for company. Until the ICC is finished, the drive from Virginia to Maryland is long. Not like I can drive anyway.
I never was a social butterfly, but... *trails off* Yeah.

We're at Charlotte's house now. Adam just handed me a Little Debbie Star Crunch cookie. I've never had one. It's good.
