Lost a firefighter yesterday - truly tragic. Winds onshore with clouds today - good from a humidity standpoint, but winds are pretty strong and in yet another direction, so the fire may get pushed into a new area. Still far from me.
On the home front - H has a new title for me - Permanent Girlfriend. See, when we first started working things out, H kept referring to me as his new girlfriend. I went along with it, but I admit it always bothered me a little - like he was trying to avoid the idea of commitment, or that the "old me" was so awful. Well, this morning H started talking about it (I SWEAR I am not starting these talks!) and said he really meant that he should treat me like you would a girlfriend, doing all the things you would for a girlfriend, because you WANT to do them, not because you feel trapped. And I said I understood all that, and that was great, but it only used to bother me a little because you don't necessarily stick with a girlfriend through thick and thin, through the tough times - so he decided to call me his Permanent Girlfriend! Isn't that sweet? I told him I REALLY liked that!
