• He arrived exactly at 10:00, when I’m supposed to be at recorder.  Good thing I was running late today.  I knew he was taking his cousin to the airport, and I just assumed he would wait until I got back around 11:30.  That he planned on coming in while I was gone and never called to discuss it when normally he calls me after his shower, you know, given the whole dog thing, it’s disturbing.

  I put Bridget in the car, saying the neighbor had mentioned seeing her in their backyard.  It was a lie and I felt guilty but I needed an excuse.  I said, “This way you can get some ventilation and not worry about where the dog is.”  When I got home he questioned me more about what the neighbor said.  I think he didn’t believe me. 

  He was still in that T-bond trade which he wanted to get out of today so we both kept a close eye on the market while he tried to paint.  You have no idea how much I am going to miss that.  He has just as good a feel for the pulse of the market as I do and it’s so easy to communicate with him.  If I didn’t have a dog I think I might have slept with him by now, in spite of the all the rational reasons I couldn’t. 

  And to have someone to cook for and eat with has become somthing I need now.  My sister came over this afternoon and we made brownies.  Derek bummed a cigarette from her and had a brownie but for the most part he stayed over by the TV with his computer.  After a little while he got up and left.  Now it’s just me and the dog, and I don’t even think I’ll bother cooking dinner.
