alexander set out on a great adventure

it's been a long time since i've written in here. but the next couple of months might be something to write about, so i'm resurrecting this today.

alex jetted off this morning - although almost managed to go without his travellers cheques. i'm grateful for that though because it meant a sad goodbye turned into a funny one. my flight tracker app says he's currently circling Newark.

today's been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. it's easy to forget that we're not going to be seeing each other for 3 months. THREE MONTHS!?!? in a lot of ways it's not that long really. today it seems like a lifetime though.

it's partly just him leaving, but also feeling under the weather today. and have been for the past few days. maybe it's lack of sleep. maybe it's stress from the last week and the big departure. alex would be (and has been) accusing me of being hypochondriac. perhaps he's right. will give it a few days and see how it goes.

since dropping the boy off at the airport, went into chessington to buy my annual pass and then have done a tax return and a bit of work. it's all go here!

this blog is a displacement activity from finishing off a bit of work and is working so far. there's also an ominous pile of washing up hiding behind the wall. who's going to know about that though.

he's at 800ft now, so on the ground soon. though not too long before he's back up into it again.
