Balancing out
Despite wanting to be hermity, I have been oddly and unusually sociable. It’s much easier in a way: I am not tired out from having to interact with people all day at work. But it’s harder, too — I don’t meet new people (or I do but they are not in Montreal), and it’s so tempting to just stay in my pyjamas all day . . . why not, right?
This is frustrating in part because I’ve really wanted to just make a fire and read in front of it. So I can’t do that during the day — I have to work! And I can’t seem to do that at night. Tonight I was out, tomorrow I have to get someone to sign my passport stuff in the evening, Wed I have a meeting to go to, and so on and so on.
The fire, when I finally manage to set it, or the book, will inevitably disappoint. But prior to that, I will have done things.

Hard to imagine fire and a book disappointing, especially if the book and fire make nice with a glass of wine.
