"What can I do? I'm addicted to this creature."
A bizarre, but interesting appraisal by her talking about me to a friend.
Kind of complimentary, kind of insulting, but very sincere.
It was very unusual today, listening with her chatting as she effortlessly switches languages, but now I really do understand what she's talking about 80% of the time, and am comfortable and secure enough with the other 20%. In general, I know what she's on about, if not always the fine details. And she's on my side.
As our visitor whispered to me 'Now THAT'S support', in quite respectful tones, as she outlined one of my situations, and her aims for improving it.
She does support. She does care. And the opening line really does sum it up.
Will try to sleep now. Will come back and pester your eyes in a bit.
