Close shave...

So yesterday, while my superpowered white blood cells were being infused, Galina took off for New York with a bunch of stuff intended to help stage the house up there.

I knew this was going to happen, but still... upon returning home and seeing Galina's car gone, I was overcome with a sense of—I don't know—loneliness? (An easy word to come up with, but if it's loneliness, why does the feeling go away after a day or two? I'm still alone and Galina is somewhere else.)

In the end, the day turned into a massive "cheat day" as far as my diet is concerned.

I'm back to my routine, today.

* * *Galina called a couple of hours ago from a gas plaza somewhere along the Interstate in Mississippi, to tell me that her phone had gone missing from the car while she had gone inside to get some coffee.

On a whim, I decided to call her phone.

No answer.

A few minutes later, I called again.

This time, the phone was answered by a worker at the McDonald's franchise located at the gas plaza.

In the end, phone and owner were happily reunited.

Cheers...

I think being alone even for brief periods during this tough time is the kind of thing that can make you feel isolated and sad. Even though it's temporary and you know it, the feelings are still there.

I hope she'll be returning soon.
