Lost

OK, I know I have been AWOL for ages. I've been so busy. And I just haven't felt the need or the want to blog. But today - I do!
Lot's been going on round here lately. Summer has been and gone, and I've had a great time, despite the awful weather.
Of course, 2 weeks of my summer was spent in California and it was truly amazing and everything we wanted it to be.

So.... to today. Today (and the reason, I suspect, for my sudden urge to blog) I feel a bit lost. I know the reason, I think. My housemate, someone I seem to have had a real love/hate relationship with lately (but whom really I absolutely adore) has jetted off to Oz for 5 weeks. Hardly a lifetime, heck, I managed a whole year without 2 of my best friends when they deserted me went off travelling for a year. Yet I feel so despondent, and sad. I miss her already. I've hardly even seen her for the past 6 weeks or so, and yet because I know there is no chance of her walking through the front door in the next 5 weeks, it's tearing me up a little bit.
So yeah, lost is a good word. I'm sure I'll be fine. I'm sure once the weekend is here and I spend time with my friends, I'll feel better. But for now, the countdown to 5 weeks from today seems very long, and very lonely.
Emma - I adore you. Come back safe... and make sure, above all, that you DO come back!!
Oh God! What if she doesn't come back!
