Taking Refuge Among My Women Friends

I find men to be taxing and strange. In the spirit of taking time off from the world of men and dating, I got together with E tonight at the Cafe de Ciudad. We enjoyed the requisite calamari appetizer (yum!) before our meals. I went thinking I would just get coffee, but I was truly starving and we had a lot of catching up to do, so a wan cup of brew wouldn't suffice. We had that kind of conversation. Long, deep, funny, meandering, lovely. The kind of conversation only two women can have. That kind.

I hope to sleep deeply tonight, unlike the last two, angst-filled weeks.
