Re: spinsterhood. Embrace of spinsterhood is likely result of laziness, but also of overwhelming fear of emotional intensity and closeness with anybody new, unknown, other.
Maysan is halfway across the world, and I miss her. It's strange to think that we were working at UBO together a year ago, taking long lunch hour jaunts to the Lower East Side, planning how to quit our jobs at the same time. I miss my friends from New York, but it feels better to live here. My grandfather is ill and dying. He could go tomorrow, or next week, or next month--we just don't know--and in a sad way, it's a comfort to be only a half-hour drive from him. It's hard to go to work in the morning, knowing that he could be breathing his last breath while I write about home organizing ideas. If I could, I'd spend all day with him, every day, as insurance that when he finally goes, he'll be with someone who loves him.
