Consoling Each Other

Tuesday was a bad day for me. At the end of the day, I felt all the energy had been sucked out of me. Fortunately, I was able to spend some time with Les in a quiet place. She massaged my frayed nerves, made me chuckle and sent me to bed with happy thoughts.

When I returned on Wednesday, I felt refreshed and ready to meet the onslaught at HPI. My friend Lost arrived in the middle of a very busy time, but waited for me to finish helping someone so I could chat with him. He was in need of consolation this time; some rude ladies had upset him. This time, I was able to console him and make him laugh.

Lost and I have had a bit of a challenge communicating. He is Portuguese and I only speak English. He does very well with English, but occasionally I say something that confuses him (my fault for not being very specific) and we have to take a time out to clarify. Typically, this causes amusement afterward when we each discover what the other was thinking. Now that we know each other better, we have fewer misunderstandings and can just enjoy chatting. I found out Lost likes to dance in RL; maybe I'll be able to persuade him to show me his moves in SL.
