I don’t quite know what to make of today… not a 100% win.

I got to see my sweet little treeflower, however briefly, online. (best part of the day!)

was supposed to hear from my brother by noon, so we could do something together, preferably to head to Dave & Cathi’s place and have a little bite to eat with the hippies. no dice. apparently, he lost his cell phone (his only phone) and so was incommunicado when I tried to reach him. ultimately, he was reached by mother, and so we all had to eat there. I met his current girl, and she’s pleasant, but has a few issues. She was very (perhaps too) open about her life and lifestyle to me, and even came on a bit. Derek seemed cool with this, apparently he’s not terribly serious about her. Creeped me out, though. I feel that she drinks too much, and is a poor influence on him. I don’t want him drinking and potentially drugging as much.

rescheduled time with Derek for Sundays again… hopefully we can get back to getting together weekly. I worry about him, and miss him.
