I hate when my partner leaves for business for extended periods of time. He just left and won't be back until Friday late-night. I know he is just a phone call away or an email but it still makes me feel sad. I got up early with him to make breakfast and see him off. It hit harder today because it's Sunday and we tend to spend the day together just doing silly things.

On top of it all, my friend Janice is also out of town for three weeks. We grew up together. When she told me she was moving to NYC, I was ecstatic. When we were little we spent a ton of time together. Now that she lives in NYC, I see her every other day. She has become an even better friend to me and a great friend to my partner. But right now, my childhood/adulthood playmate is out of town. So, what now?

Maybe I should take the next few days to take inventory of my life. Maybe I can clean up some loose bits. Maybe I can paint the bedroom. Maybe. Maybe not.

Not that I want to hit the gym anymore than I do. Plus my knee is bothering me. I also hate that I am waiting to get paid (this Friday). I paid a bunch of bills and now I am tight on cash. The good news is that at the end of this month, I will have paid-off two of my three credit cards. Goodbye to that burden.

By now, some of you are pulling out your violins. I know I should get over it. But I miss him. I hate this snowball effect on my emotions. Oh well... Later.
