I miss Chris. I'm trying not to wallow and spiral downward, but, here between friends, I will admit it. I am MISERABLE without him. He has called nearly every evening and we have web cammed a couple of times, but tomorrow he leaves for Austria and will be there for 5 days and I will have no contact with him whatsoever.
I have done everything in the world that I can think of to stay busy, up to and including putting up the Christmas/Yule tree, cleaned the house like it will be inspected by the health department, put together a set of bunkbeds, folded 14 loads of laundry, walked many a mile on a country road with my dog, gone shopping (which I would normally rather put a fork in my eye than do) cooked everything I can think of, done job interviews, spent many hours on the phone with my friends, read many books and watched several movies. It's easy to cram all this stuff in since I am an unemployed insomniac.
Lina and Huck miss him, but nothing like I do. They are so used to his freakazoid work hours that it doesn't seem very different to them. Tonight Lina and I were talking while we were setting up the chess board and she, in her empathetic way, said "Of course you miss him this much. He's your best friend."
He's been in Europe 10 days. 11 more to go.

"he's your best friend"
Oh that is just the sweetest!!
I came home today to find a pleasant surprise in my mail pile. I am looking forward to throwing it in the stereo over Thanksgiving weekend.
It was such a kind thing for you to do. Thank you so much!
Blessings to all of you
