I have become intimate with pain lately: shooting pain, throbbing pain, aching pain…..
And this is just my back. Poor back.

There is also the pain of my current mission, which seems to be blocked by evil forces at every turn. As my mission partner Pivo put so aptly this morning “they are fucking us from every direction” . It is true.

The fuse blew when I attempted to make coffee today.

And then there is the sting of missing him so. I suppose it is a good thing… as we were inseparable for 3 weeks before I left, practically crawling into each other, not getting any work done, not even trying. If that trajectory were allowed to continue at that velocity we might have melted. Ahhhh, but it was lovely.
