What's Going On?

Matty and Sujiko don't seem to be getting married, and I don't know why. I suppose one or both of them will tell me eventually, but it bodes poorly for my fruit-oriented gift basket (which Aradia said looked like a pile of penises because of the bananas and I'm pretty sure she didn't mean it as a compliment). Anyway, I'm worried about them, but I'm also wary about interfering overly much in what simply isn't my business. Even so, I'm going to send them a wave sooner or later when the waiting starts getting me down.

Hatch made pancakes and eggs and bacon-like protein strips today for breakfast. He seemed kind of sad, and I'm not really sure why. I'm sure he'll be just fine, probably even by the time he reads these words (Hi, Hatch!), but sometimes I wish I could just look him in the eyes and make everything better by sheer will alone. I must remind myself, however, that our solemn moments are often just as important as the happy ones. It is allowed, and it is okay.

Oh, speaking of solemn and happy moments, I had a lovely talk with Tyr today, because he had seemed out of sorts over breakfast. We worked everything out nicely and even shared a very delightful hug. He's a nice guy!

Last but not least, Larry sneezed this afternoon, and I am concerned. But Doc Lucinda says that rats cannot catch people colds, and she should know better than me about such things.
