i just had a wonderfully cathartic conversation with my katie. it’s good to have a friend like her who is capable of being a “shoulder” friend over the phone. those are rare. my hubby is gone most of this week. crummy for him because he’s freezing his toes off and working around the clock – although the latter isn’t really a change now, is it. crummy for me because i don’t sleep well by myself but since i’ve been in a very down and lonely mood for the last week, we’re probably better being apart a couple days. maybe when he gets home i’ll be feeling better and stop snapping at him for no reason. i’m sure he’d appreciate that. on the bright side, a fabulous cold front has moved in and tonight and tomorrow night should be great open window nights. that should help me sleep.
