And I mean flushed in the non-bathroom sort of way Weighing my pockets with stones of longing |
At most I will be getting five hours of sleep tonight. It was a good, long day: I just wish I had nothing to worry about tomorrow. Preoccupied. A kid got something stuck in his ear today during recess and had to go home, and I launched into a rant about Bush in front of a bunch of 5th graders. Saw Fiona out on the playground making very loud animal noises. So at least she can produce sounds. On my way home from school I ran into Antoine near the Place des 4 Fontaines and he introduced me to his "maman". Adorable. He asked how my loves were; I said I had none here, and my friendships - I said I was on my way to see them. Indeed they made it Thanksgiving for me; a very happy evening. Had a long, fascinating history chat with Will, Caro, and Kate. Celebrated Thanksgiving with the whole gang at Jessica's with roast chicken, mashed potatoes, corn, apple pie, wine, and "Dirty Dancing". Thought incessantly of K.
