I don't do lonely. Never have. Just as well, really. In the circs. Only, I do keep looking around for Karen, and finding her oddly not here. Strange, that.
In nine days' time, I'll be in mid-air and on my way there, just when the Rapture strikes. Apparently. D'you suppose it'll take me first, because I'm closer?
In the meantime, I have a crust of fresh bread and a glass of wine, and a list of things I have to do before I go. It's not that I make the best bread in the world, just that I do make it exactly to my taste. Along with almost everything else I make, actually. That's going to be another odd thing, adjusting my cooking to someone else's preferences. Something else to look forward to: I'm tired of cooking for me, I always get it right.
In the meantime, the most difficult thing? Is drawing up a cat-feeding rota, for my absence. Spelling out exactly how I'll be taking advantage of my friends, scheduling their favours. I kind of hate this.
