OK. so basically you got used to having him around again, and because it was so great, you're really missing him right now. totally understandable. isn't it weird how, when things are still not-good, we get used to being on our own, not having the regular daily-filler conversations, going to sleep in a big bed all by ourselves, etc. but, when it's good, it's so easy to get used to the wonderful company again -- it's almost harder this way. it's like a sense memory that is just there.

but, this is all good, Jen. and of course you know that but still feel lonely. but today's thursday already, which means you only have to get through another day and then you're together again for 3 whole days! really, it'll be here so soon. enjoy the anticipation of it, because once your time together starts, it'll be over again in a blink of the eye. anyway, tomorrow -- and then the tomorrow after that -- will be here before you know it. so just hold on. oh, and tell those grad students the grade book is CLOSED!
