Bed-hog!

The dog completely took over the bed last night!! I woke up at 2am and discovered he was sleeping horizontally on the bed, his ass in my face, so got up to go to the washroom. When I came back, he had taken over my spot!! Knowing full well that if I heaved him over, growling would result, I just got in on the other side, against the wall. Gees, pretty bad when the dog has control over the bed! I guess I could have shoved him over, ignoring the nasty growling that would have occurred, but I was too asleep to care. :)

Our annual "Mineral sciences piss-up" is this coming Friday, starting at noon at Meditheo. What horrible timing, since Friday is also the Cafe Scientifique, the speaker for which is someone that I have invited along. Whoops. So I'm going to have to bow-out of the piss-up early, which doesn't make me happy. Especially given the atmosphere lately, with me changing roles and not being totally mineralogy-oriented lately. I'd rather show that I'm not deserting them, but I don't have much of a choice this Friday. I wonder if I can get people to come to the Royal Oak for supper or at least a beer so they are with me? Probably not. It's a long way off from the Market. The only good thing about this is that I won't spend as much money as I otherwise would. It's usually a very expensive day!

Been having an interesting time/experience with a friend of mine, trying to figure out where our relationship stands, what is between us, and trying to sort out our own lives. It's been an interesting experience. The one thing it has done is made me realize, again, how important close, intimate, personal relationships are, just on a platonic level. Although maybe that closeness has to stem from wanting more than a platonic relationship, but for whatever reason, that can't realistically happen. But it's good. I think it's heathly and helps both of us immensely.
