Dead: legs are knackered from last night’s spinning. First one this season that has left me so empty. Must have done something correct. (PS: Hope tonight’s yoga session is not leg focused).
Loved: R & I were chatting in the kitchen while I brewed coffee. Chewie came out and started whining. Made us follow him back to the bed, curled up in my spot, and beckoned us (with those dreamy eyes) to get on the bed. He’s been sleeping curled up on me since.

And mine didn’t have much of either.”
You make me want to be a better man.
– Melvin (Jack Nicholson) in As Good As It Gets
Men try to dissuade me from everything Love bids me do.
They don’t understand it, and I can’t explain it to them. I must live out what I am.
