Today I am in a different coffee shop on the usual day. There are some nice things about being home, like this. I’m happy that I found a place here where I could go get lost in good coffee and my thoughts Being able to slip away to my own temporary away-from-home sanctuary helps to keep me grounded, and I can take a step back to truly appreciate the good times I’ve had here over the course of the week.

I’ve had talks and time with Mom, and I had some much needed downtime with Nana. I had an amazing dinner with a family member last night that I haven’t seen in forever. I have no idea why I don’t keep in touch more. She is exactly like me, like minded in every way that I need in my life right now.

I’ve gotten to see all of my family for more than a day and I don’t feel so sad that I’m running out of time with them. I saw family I never see, and I will see more as the week goes on. I look forward to this, and seeing old friends and can’t wait for my love to get here. I miss him so much when I’m away from him, not only because I love him so much, but because he’s my like minded person who is my better half. I’m enjoying my time here but I truly look forward to his arrival, and to seeing his family, too.
