yes I did.
and now my back is sore I'm super tired.. and though gone for over a hour I feel as though I have bought nothing but ice-cream and granola bars for Aryk.. I'd hug it out and be happy.. but no one is here! not even the landlady OR her cats!! bed time.. no dinner.. just sleep.. or tea.. or sitting. yes.. I shall just sit now.. until something else happens..
