On melancholia or thwarted desires

layangabiIn the past few days, the girls have come down with the sniffles. ): In Lickerish's case, a slight rattle. Sniffles and rattles are literally, deathly serious things for personages as tiny as rats, and though their breeder has assured us the girls are not that bad, it is ill advised for sick rats to travel.
So we still have an empty cage, packets of dry food and wet food stuck in the freezer waiting to be opened. Their chew toys are still unopened, in their packages. We are hoping, hoping they will get better soon and can come home next week.
(I would love to write a story about rats, but the story in my head is developing into a strange little fairy tale and I am not sure I will be to look at my girls in the eye when they finally arrive. D:)
Also, editing my novel on the train is...well. At the end of the week, my eyes hurt, my head hurts, and I don't think I got very much done, but I'm not sure what else I can do. And I think I am coming down with something, because I am exhausted and now my mother has dropped in and wants to see my workplace. D: I love the trains, I love riding out to work, but I don't want to go, this Saturday morning.
But Briony and I went out for a date last night, and we ate crepes and lay on the lawn, under the lights of the State Library. I love my girl.
