Another rainy day
I love the rain, and today it visits me again. It has been much cooler these past few days, but still warmer than I prefer. I spent this weekend in the state of Rhode Island and went to a shopping mall in the city of Providence. It was four or five stories high and enormous!

Looking at the "Island" in Rhode Island is depressing. It reminds me of home. Iceland is Ísland in our language (pronounced differently, like "EES-land" in English), so for a split second it looks like I am reading "Iceland" on a sign! I had a good time and we found a really, really good café. It is too bad that it is in Rhode Island and two hours away!

I do not like the food I have been offered, it is so rich and makes me ill. I have eaten little these past few days but breakfast and small suppers because my stomach has been upset. It may be that I am simply sick from something, but I am usually healthy so I believe it may be something I was offered to eat. Tonight we bought some fresh cod fish, so supper will be good and sit well inside me.

I do not know what to do today except that I am taking the day off to rest from academia and other things. No more camp! I shall be around on Gaia today, see you there!

I hope very much to see you on Gaia later, though I'm not so sure when since I'm starting a job today. A rather inglorious one, rolling burritos for the downtown Portland lunch-rush crowd; people with real jobs and probably real lives. It's hard for me not to compare myself with such people and feel inferior and become disheartened.

Yes, do take the day off and try to relax and enjoy yourself. Were I there I'd make you a couple light meals of soups, salads, small sandwiches, and teas and juices. Funny, I miss you, and I don't really know you; I just feel oddly close to and similar to you. It could be an illusion, or it could mean something else or more.

All I can do is shrug like a Gaul for now and focus on my more immediate, proximate, and pressing matters. I'll leave you with a *kiss* before I take off for work. (I may be on Gaia at around 9:00 PM Eastern.)
