Meloncholy this morning. I suppose my chosen playlist is not really helping...Damien Rice, Joshua Radin, Michelle Branch and Ingrid Michaelson. Attitudes need soundtracks though, right? :) I should be cleaning, baking. But here I am, pounding out my feelings on my keyboard and trying to see through my glasses. Glasses don't mix with tears well...stupid glasses.

This is turning out to be an emotional week- one friend is moving away, another returning. I hate goodbyes. I am not used to being the one left. Our family is usually the one moving and leaving others behind. It sucks to be left behind...you have to actually feel the void being left with the leaving.

I will miss Gina and her kids. When someone lives right next door to you, they weave themselves into your heart. And yet, I will be glad to Alison and the girls back...morning coffee again with my neighbor.

Change never ends.

I feel the distance of my two closest girlfriends sharply this morning...one in VA, the other visiting family in Texas. I need a conversation...a hug.

But for now... it is 9:45, and Ron will be texing me soon, saying "Good morning sweety".

And that will make me feel better. :) Then I will turn on some Christmas music and get on with my day...
