changing the tip of my cane feels like cleaning my glasses

the ground is less blurry

i really like the line at the end of the book where rocky responds with "i'm not polite company, my friend" when grace reminds rocky that he's avoiding talking about eating in front of other eridians. i like how it implies such comfort between them. they have been with each other for years and have seen one another in almost every state possible that they can handle just about anything at this point. will they react to it? sure! but they can bring it up

this Also adds to the idea i like where at this point the xenonite is the only thing standing between them. they can never be close together in the most literal sense of those words (physically) so they're coming up with increasingly creative ways to be as close as possible in every other way to make up for it

i said it's flare up season now but to be honest it seems like every season is flare up season in this house

like i wish i could narrow it down! but any weather change makes my joints file a complaint. cold weather feels like someone poured concrete between my bones. hot weather is like someone is plunging knives and tearing my joints apart. and don't even get me started on rain. that fucker.
