I'm out of here Thursday for a couple days, down to see my parents for Thanksgiving. I think they figured they'd get me for either T-giving or Christmas but it looks like they might get me for both, depending on how things are going here.

I know I haven't written too much about the breakup situation, but that's because things are still confused. or at least, I'm confused, even if the things aren't. I don't know. It's hard to go from "relationship" to...what? About 10 years ago I broke up with someone after a year and a half, and it was something that had been coming for some time, so when it happened I felt relief. But now I'm on the other side of that, and I feel...unsettled. I'm really not sure where my mind is going, but the traveling has helped and no doubt will continue to do so.

But I'm doing OK, and thanks to all for the words of encouragement. And especially thanks to those friends here who have made me feel better and who have spent time with me lately. I appreciate it.

I watched Madonna's concert from London tonight on TV. I have to say, it's not exactly the same as being there. Wish I could have seen this tour -- I saw the last two and was in heaven both times -- but with the move out here this summer the timing was just bad, despite the fact she did shows in Philly and NYC. She didn't do one in DC because she's pissed at Bush (as is 60% of the American population) but I don't think he minded the lack of a concert as much as I did.

You know how I know it's the holiday season? Not the changing weather, not the decorations...it's the fact I'm getting sick. Normal for me, I suppose. The stupid germs are apparently alcohol-resistant, and trust me, I've checked thoroughly.
