On Monday, I sat in the armchair looking at the curve of Gothly's foot that was resting on the end of the sofa.  It was very kissable.  I was thinking about the happy years we had spent together, and about how much we loved each other.  I made a cup of tea for us both, and over it, I ended our relationship.  Then I went to the dentist: she has just

I'm really fucking sorry. There aren't any words in the world for things like this, but I really really hurt for things like this and I'm sorry.

Delgadina, thank you for your words, and I know there are none. I have been following your journal and wishing I had something wise or helpful to say to you too. I'm glad the summer is looking up for you.

...Incidentally, would you like me to get hold a copy of the last Orbis for you? Or have you seen it?

[calamityhowler]

Did Orbis end up using the review? Since I hadn't heard anything about it, I just assumed they decided not to.

Where can I get a copy here in the USA?

[snailrind]

They did use it, but the edition got published later than they intended. I've only just received my copy. Shall I get them to send you one, care of Pudding House?

[snailrind]

It might well be, but I can't remember what I was writing about a month and a half ago. Do you mean here, or on the other site?

That thing back in January? http://snailrind.livejournal.com/58073.html?nc=14

No; we still thought we were going to get married then.

hi.
it's a whale not a manatee.
i brought this hug, it has your name on it so i think it belongs to you. i'll just leave it here by the door and if you want you can take it and wrap it round you. it's quite big, and i think it's very warm.

[snailrind]

Mmmm, thanks. I've been needing one of those!

Welcome to my journal.

I've clearly missed something! ..._@o"

Did the critters finally come between you? Or was it something to do with the doppelganger?

[snailrind]

I really don't know how to answer this. You are sort of right, but it's more than that. I can't explain very well, other than that I needed to go. I have this powerful urge that I can't deny any longer... but putting it into words is difficult. I've been feeling as though my wings have been flapping for some time.

Call it a mid-life crisis.

I have been reading the emails, and thank you for your concern. You are obviously mystified and are wondering how this could have happened. I appreciate that you are sending all this advice and bewildered questioning because you care very much and are concerned for me. But I don't know how to explain it more than I already have, and I'm not sure I even want to. It's not like I am obliged to explain to my friends the ins and outs of my love life.

Although I appreciate that my lack of communication means you must try to fill in the gaps yourself, I really wish you wouldn't! You are jumping to a lot of conclusions that make me wonder what the hell kind of person you think I am. I have loved deeply for as long as you have. I know how to run a relationship

This is so scarily close to what Husband and I were through just recently... I even stayed with my parents for two nights.

Do you think it's the moon or the weather or the age? (I feel like 58)

Many many hugs

I'm sorry to hear this, Milla. I hope things turn out well for you.
