Today has been fantastic, a great day spent among friends.
I'm also looking forward to tomorrow! I didn't cuddle or kiss anyone yet, but I will update this if I have. However, that's just an observation, not a con of the day :)

Time to go home :( my friend told me many nice stories about the time she spent with her new boyfriend (I assume they're dating now?) and we had a nice meal. My other friend drove me to the bus station, and we said our byes for now. I'll miss everyone :( but not for long! I'll be back. I'm also excited for the new friends that I can make, and all the energy I recovered from the open loops I closed. There are more to close, like new places to excommunicate my ex that occurred to me, but that is not an issue and can only lead to further energy savings.
I am gonna spend the bus trip sleeping; sleep was not a priority on this trip, in order to make the most of my rather limited time. However, it has been good practice for ~con, which will be a similar affair :^)
My ex is repeating her classic cycle with yet another guy. Now I'm liberated, I'm free, I don't have an open loop that I feel like I need to close. And I'll try not to let loneliness guide me to desperation, instead channeling this energy into better ventures. The loop slightly reopened when my friend told me that my ex has been offering to fuck everyone in the friend group, including the friend who told me (my mutual friend with her.) I told my friend that if it happened, I didn't wanna know about it, but it's also a fucked up thing to do to someone, fuck their ex while still friends with them. End of story, moving on.
I tried to help my friend find some Audiocodes analog telephone adapter firmware. I thought maybe I would have some credentials for it from work, but apparently not. :( He's trying to use this giant 24-port ATA that he found for cheap to revive a 1940s telephone set. Obviously it uses pulse dialling, but the ATA firmware doesn't support pulse dialing. Oh bother. :/
Now I'll check on my ~towncon plane tickets, do a bit of work, and at like 9pm I will go to sleep and try to recover from the several nights of sleep deprivation I had. Surprisingly, I am functioning phenomenally well considering the lack of sleep... I wonder what the heck that can be attributed to.
