leave enough room for heart #2 and maybe some text

Wow, today was long.  I felt like I was sleepwalking through most of it.  Fortunately, the morning classes were pretty bleary-eyed themselves and didn't require too much from me.  By afternoon I was half-awake  but the assignment I gave them the previous day was kind of weird (even for me) and watching the weirdness that ensued as a result was hard on my brain.  I couldn't make any sense of what they were saying or doing, sort of like being caught in a never-ending too-much-food-close-to-bedtime dream.

Speaking of dreams, I dreamed of Yvette last night.  I know I was thinking about her yesterday, specifically about a conversation we once had in which I was trying to convince her that her weight wasn't something she should be so concerned about, and she got angry with me and asked me, if I could, would I trade bodies with her?  If it really didn't matter so much, would I trade?  I remember thinking about that seriously, suddenly , where before it just been words, suddenly I really thought about what it would feel like to switch, how my life would be different in her shoes.  And I realised I couldn't really answer her question after all, because I wouldn't switch.  Life would be so much harder.  She made me see it more clearly.

I don't remember the dream I had last night, but I remember that Yvette was angry with me again, the way she often was.  And like always, there was nothing I could do about it.

Valentines Day.  I broke the rules a little bit (we don't buy stuff) by picking up some wine and sweeties ... but I think he will be pleased.  When I offered to make dinner, he asked if we could order pizza instead (a true testament to my astonishing culinary abilities) so our plan for the night is to stay home, eat, drink and snuggle by the fireplace.  Of course, any true romance will be interrupted by overly affectionate puppies... but that's good stuff.
