Today was, again, boring. This trip is much like my August visit, with the exception that it's 8 days long and boring rather than 2 days long and action-packed. I'm missing Jeff a lot more than I thought I would, and since my friends are now rather dispersed, there's not a lot for me to do. I planned my visit around spending time with Ralph and Lori, but they ended up not coming, and the Christmas celebrations with family ended yesterday. I've done a lot of knitting and reading and petting Goldie, but that gets tedious after a while.
I've begun planning my moving out. The current idea is that once I graduate, I'll get a Real Job, then a car, then come to Texas and retrieve all my stuff. Dad said that the prospect of getting rid of excess furniture could even persuade him to make the long drive to Seattle. There are months between now and then, of course, and plans will change, but the fact is that I've become reconciled to the fact that I belong elsewhere and that my childhood room is no longer really mine.
