Her: I think everyone has a person. (later) Would it matter? If I ate a shrimp or tried some fishy sushi? I don't think it would.

Me: No - because you are who you are and I don't want you to change because of me.

Her: I guess I really know that you aren't my person. Sometimes I forget, though.

Me: (pause) I hope you find your person. You deserve to find your person.

Her: I hope you find yours too.

Me: (thinking) You're a good person.

Her: I didn't do anything good.

Me: (long pause) You wished me well. That's something good.

In addition to that very, very sad conversation, also lost my biggest client today, my computer died and either broke my leg or tore my ACL. Crashed at the 'rents and ConEd was doing repairs so I took a cold shower. The moment I was done, got a knock on my door.

Him: Hey just wanted to tell you that the gas is back on.

Me: (dripping wet) Of course it is.

Not a good day. But there's this old saying that it's better to light a candle than curse the darkness. Ended my night with a nice conversation that I'll keep to myself but made things seem a little less dark.

Got no candle for you but if you click the music link above, you can get a free download of the song I'm listening to as I write this.

Hope y'had a better day than I had.
