    Watched softball & then walked with Steve pm.

    ((G.))

    Blackout. Slept on roof. Spend much time up there alone thinking of M & Rae & G & Bon trying to piece together a pattern for the future, wishing I was able to help G, that I had the substance with which to make her happy & imagining what I’d do if I had the substance. All seems futile at present.
