All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down

Well, I did it. I sent the last of my assistant friends off on a train today. Tom left today; Caroline left yesterday. Now it's just me. What will I do with myself for a whole month without our random meetings-up for coffee? Or our weekends out? I may just have to work.

Pfft!

Anyway, I was bummed out on the way back from the train station today. I thought, that's it. I'm back to being alone here. Not totally alone, I suppose. I have some friends here (hi, Frauke!), but Caroline and Tom were the two I hung out with the most. So it's going to be like it was in September - me here, wondering what to do with myself every night. Only now I don't mind it so much because I have ... count 'em ... 26 days left! I can do it. I can do anything for 26 days. I can wait it out. And it's not like I don't have anything to do in the meantime. I'm going on a day trip with a friend tomorrow, and I'm going to see Spamalot in Cologne next weekend. Then there's the process of selling things, giving things back to people who may or may not remember I still have their stuff, and worrying over a million little details. 26 days? I can do that.

I'm sure the time will fly by faster than you expect.

Checking in on you. I know I have missed you the past few weekends on Skype. We went camping in the Salt Plains over the May30th and 31st weekend. They reopened the crystal digging areas... ahh memories. Anyways, missed you on skype and we are going birding in the Wichita NWR this weekend and camping. In 22 days I will see you again. I check Skype periodically during the day at work but you never are on then :(
Love you baby.
Dad
