In honorable continuation of my weekend hiding out, I just watched The Shipping News. I was pleasantly surprised. Éclair is in a great mood because she spent most of the weekend swimming. I hate the fact that tomorrow equals Monday and it smells terribly like work. Flavie will be in town Wednesday. I have searched my emotions in an attempt to define how I feel about seeing her again for the first time in eight months. I know concretely that I am comfortable with her as a friend and that it ends there... there are absolutely zero residual romantic feelings. I didn't think there would be, but it's comforting to know for sure. Her move back to Paris is delayed and she is picking up some things from storage. Thankfully, I'll be in Vegas for the weekend. There are certain aspects of my life today that I would change that change were within my power, but when it comes to she and I... I'm glad that we are nothing more than friends.
