So the countdown timer on my home page switched from counting down to M.’s departure to counting up from when he left. (It did it on it’s own, might be an integer thing, and if the script was truly accurate, I’m now in negative time. But, I don’t know.)

The beauty is that in my self-indulgent drama I now can count the hours, days, etc. that we have been apart.

Sweet dolor.

(I was going to write the French “douleur,” because I think it has a better nuance to my indulgence. But, between not wanting to be pretentious and smug and the U.S. requirement to hate the French, well…)
