Yow. That was one of the better thiry-some-hour stretches I've had in quite a while. Car and job issues had kept me and

emmett_the_sane from spending much time together over the past several months, and neither of us was terribly happy with that; today and yesterday we accomplished some very thorough and much-needed reconnecting, on a number of levels. It's so nice to have him once again present in my life; I'd forgotten how much of a stabilizing force he's been for me. And of course he's an excellent person to bounce introspective musings off of, and even better at making me feel useful by bouncing introspective musings off of me in turn.

One bit of musing I've still got to mull over, though: it's become apparent that I open up a lot more the more consecutive hours I spend with someone. This is somewhat problematic for a person who has some difficulty opening up to people in general, and who furthermore doesn't often get to spend all that many consecutive hours with any one person. Seems I'll have to look into ways to fix that last thing, 'cause the first is gonna take a lot more work. Once again, I must loudly bemoan the existence of busy schedules.
