i have had a lot of work to do today... i feel like i've been working really a lot lately (and i still will be working a lot since one of my coworkers just stopped working here last week). my partner is done with school for the semester, and has a lot of free time now. i am glad she has more time to get things done that she wants to do, but i also miss her when i am working. we have a special connection, and really are so happy spending all our time together.

today i had an extra long break from work and even though it wasn't a ton of time, it was enough that i wanted to try to go home for a bit before coming back to finish work tonight. i didn't just want to sit around alone. i ordered take out from near work... and was super sad that they didn't have it ready when i got there since i called WAY ahead... still, i waited and finally i got the food and got home through the terribly humid and hot yucky air (made me grumpy, i don't like to sweat so much. icky sticky air.) i heard it's a record high temp, tied with this day in 1874!!

anyway when i got home... sweet rosie was there. one of my partner's alters, she is about 13 years old. i was so happy to see her! even though i was pretty grumpy overall, i was SO glad i came home (it wasn't for long ). rosie lifted my spirits. i haven't seen her around in a while, and i have been thinking about her a lot... wondering if she's doing ok, if she need to talk. i like so hold her close and give her safe hugs, too when she needs them.

i heard that rosie and my partner had some overlapping bad dreams this morning. my partner woke up feeling bad, and i was glad to be there to hold her and tell her it was safe and ok. i think it's interesting that rosie told me some of the dreams she had overlapped with my partner's.

it was so hard to come back to work. i didn't want to leave rosie... i wanted to stay and talk to her and hang out. she didn't know i was bringing food, so she had already eaten... but i left it there in case she wants some later. she also said she hoped i wasn't disappointed that she was around instead of my partner. and i think that is just ridiculous! i was so happy to see her! it's been far too long since i've seen her, and it really means a lot to me when i get a chance to hug her close and tell her how much i like spending time with her. i'm just really glad i went home. i think there was a reason i really felt like going home even though i was short on time to do it. i'm SO happy i got to see her. what a sweetheart. i hope maybe i can still hang out with her later...
