Another failure for the glass lab. Toilet bowl cleaner doesn't work either. The little bowl is just as cloudy as ever. I filled it with vinegar and left for work this morning.
I read some good things about glass stove-top cleaner last night...

I realized as I was washing the breakfast dishes this morning that yesterday would have been the 8th anniversary for Michael and me if we had made it. I can't believe it didn't even cross my mind yesterday. Just as well. I didn't hear from him, and I wasn't sending a card this year like I did last year. Still, I'm surprised at myself.
I can't believe I've been single again for two years without even a prospect on the horizon - without even a boyfriend. I wonder if this is the way it will be from now on.

lust, sloth, gluttony *sigh* it's all here - laid as bare as a chick in a Kubrick flick
About Me
- thefabulousmrthing
- The most likely much too detailed look at the life of a second-class citizen twice over. As a gay man who is single again at 40+ in the South, I'm working on accepting things as they are and finding the joy in them when I can. I am blessed with good friends, pretty good health, a job that sustains me, and two cats who enjoy my servitude. I'm kinky, decently read, and a hypo-glycemic pescetarian who is pretty opinionated. Between the large cast of characters and my perhaps unfortunate propensity to navel-gaze, there is usually something going on.

Edna St. Vincent Millay
What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply;
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands a lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply;
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands a lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
