Temporary Reprieve

The past three days have been psychologically and emotionally good days for me. Tuesday I spent all day playing a board game with my best friend from S-. We’ve been playing the Star Wars X-Wing game for years. We’d play every couple of months, but haven’t gotten together since January because of conflicting schedules. I’m worried that it is going to happen less frequently with the move; it is going to be close to a three-hour drive for us to play. That means that our game days will have to turn into game weekends, with an overnight stay by one of us. But I’ve already invited him to the new house for sometime around Halloween.
And yesterday I finally caught my best friend via phone. We’d been playing phone tag for months, because his work schedule is erratic and he lives two time zones away. It was great to talk to him, though. We had a lot of catching up to do, so we talked for about two hours.
Today is the wedding for M’s cousin. It’s about a three-hour drive from here, which I’m not looking forward to. But it will be good to see all of that group of people. They are always fun to hang out with.
So, feeling a little less lonely than normal, at the moment. Which is good.
