.... if you were expecting to hear from Nate today and don't. He had rather a rough training session this morning - which I will let him tell you about - and I suspect he hasn't been sleeping well. The combination left him absolutely exhausted and quite unable to argue coherently, so once I'd tended his bumps and bruises, I popped him into the Box, gave him a nice sedative, and confidently expect him to sleep for at least the next ten to twelve hours. He'll feel much better for a good, dreamless sleep, I'm sure.
I also think I may have startled him quite a bit... he was being very small and sad and pitiful, as he is when he's too overtired to keep his guard up, and since you weren't here, I administered a hug and some reassurance. I think it came as a bit of a shock. Still, someone had to do it.
Take care of yourself, my dear, and eat lots of nourishing haggis. ;)
