I didn't think I had any New Year's resolutions, but it turns out I'd really like to write every day (in hope of getting my book done, but writing here also counts), and read every day (especially paper books, because I have such a backlog of ones I want to read, going back at least to last Christmas).
So there might be more potentially-boring diary-ish entries here, for days that I can't face working on the book. You can't say you haven't been warned.
The best thing that happened today was getting to hear![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
magister's voice a little; he called miss_s_b when she was brushing her teeth so she put him on speakerphone, and then came down the stairs to where Andrew and I were, so I got a little bit of an update on how he's doing, which was so nice after not having had more than the odd text message for the last fortnight.
It had been a strange New Year's Eve, being at his house as we have done for many years now (at least one where he and I weren't a couple yet so that must make this the sixth?), and watching the Doctor Who Christmas special which of course I very much associate with James, and him not being there. So it was really grounding to hear from him today.
At the end of the phone call, Jennie said "Love you" and then I said "Love you!" too, and it was one of those moments where I just marvel that this is my life, that we do both love him and we get to be some support for each other in trying to support him through the aftermath of losing his dad. It's another of the benefits of poly that doesn't occur to the people who think it's just about orgies; this level of closeness and of being able to share elements of the experience of being someone's partner is way more valuable and relevant to my polyamorous life.
