I just got back from the airport where I dropped off my good friend Paul. I’m going through so many emotions and physical sensations right now that I cannot pinpoint exactly how I’m feeling. This song keeps playing in my head, “give me emotion… la la la la la.”
Yesterday was our last hurrah. We went to Lolo Pass for some dreamy, creamy telemark skiing. After that, we spent the afternoon looking through the bargain bins at REI. To finish out the day, we stopped at the Iron Horse Saloon for our last meal together. What a week!
Now I must go to work, and frankly, I don’t know if I can survive the day. A sore heart, sore ribs, exhaustion, and loneliness! I sure hate it when a good friend leaves. Just like in the movie “Touching the Void,” I plan to set little goals for myself. I’ll try to make it through the first hour, then to break time, and on to lunch. If I can only make it through the day!
