It’s a bittersweet day today. I’m glad to be home for a day (although we’re leaving for another trip tomorrow, so we don’t get much breathing time)… but the bitter part is that my parents left a few minutes ago, and I cried some big, fat tears. I know I won’t see them for at least a year, and the realization, though not new, always slaps me in the face.
The trip was wonderful (aside from my complaining aunt who found new reasons to complain every day). I enjoyed every minute with my parents, and I think they did too. I will post some pictures later today.
Oh, and there are some good news too. I have a job. Thanks to Molly, who sent me an ad from CL. It’s a writing job, that earns me a nice little income on the side. Thanks Molly for keeping your eyes open. 
Well, I’m off to the gym. I figure if I go into public I can’t just sit and cry. So working it off sounds like a good idea to me.
I feel you. I see my mum once a year, when she flies down to stay for a week. I dread it as much as I look forward to it, because I know it’ll go so fast, and I’ll be seeing her off again before I know it.
Yay for your job!!
Well done on the job, that’s great news.
I think everyone gets that feeling when visitors have gone. I actually don’t much like having my mother here (she is not an easy person) but the house feels so empty when they have gone for a while.
It makes time go quickly too when you only see people once a year - makes the years seem to whizz by when the time comes round again. Well, it does to me. There are lots of things I only do once a year (not THAT) and I’m sure they make time mover faster somehow.
*HUG*
I just saw my sister. We might see each other twice a year. That stinks.
Glad the job is working out. That’s awesome.
Molly, yes, I’m so excited about this. I’m also going to self publish a children’s book pretty soon. I decided not to go through a publisher, since it’s a rather small book. My novel I’m still trying to “sell” to a publisher.
RB, I see you understand.
TLP, thank you. Hugs back to you.
