The Moon and I

Day 2

Entry 1

Today I was woken up to a really, really unpleasant smell and the feeling of warm liquid trickling across my chest.

I forgot to get diapers.

In a thankfully non-literal sense, shit.

I called in sick to work today, then showered, changed, and rushed out to get diapers. When I got back, Luna looked sheepish, like she knew she'd done something wrong. I quickly strapped a diaper onto her, thanking the gods it fit, and moved her to my chair. She still looked sheepish, so I hugged her and explained that she had just made a mistake and that everyone messes up sometimes. I doubted she could understand what I was saying, but she seemed to like hearing me talk, so I started repeating what I'd said in Italian, French, what broken Arabic I could remember; really, just giving her nice noises to listen to. She hugged me after a little while and started bouncing happily.

You know, it just occurred to me that I haven't shown her the outside yet. I don't know how Luna got here, but I don't think it involved the doors. It'll be a great experience for her. I've got a little yard; so long as I keep her between the brick wall at the back and the back of the house it should be alright. If I can find others with ponies, Luna would get to explore more. Judging by how she's wandering around the two rooms, she'd like that.

Alright, Luna definitely enjoyed that. She ran around, tried to climb a fence, and her horn started sparking, which I think means that she was using magic. Well, trying to. She would stop, concentrate really hard, her horn would spark, and... nothing happened. I suppose it will take practice before she can do it effectively. I should look up what they can do with it. I know Luna should be able to raise the moon, but I don't have any idea what else ponies in general can do. I'll do that tonight, after her dinner. For today, I just want to talk to her, since that's supposed to help kids learn to speak.

Anyway, Luna also found a ball that the kid across the wall had lost a month or two ago. I scratched Luna and hugged her, told her good job, and lobbed the ball back over the wall. She grinned and hugged me back, then surprised me by kissing my cheek. My heart fluttered again and I realized I missed my morning meds, so I took them.

Man, Luna's taking up so much of my attention. I barely remembered to call in sick today.

I think that's all I'll write for today, unless something else happens. I'm gonna see if she can eat other foods.

She can! And really likes corn.

So long, journal.
