this week and suddenly it's hitting me very hard. Although I've lived here over three years now I'm finding I have a large network of acquaintance-friends and absolutely no one I can pick up the phone and call just to chat, kwim? This woman in particular was one of the few I know that remotely "get" me - my sense of humor, my interests, etc. She's moving seven hours away. It's unlikely I will see her too many times again.
I'm being a bear to dh and hiding from my kids. And I'm feeling like I'm fooling myself when I try to be optimistic that I will meet a couple of women that make life really fun here. I don't ask for much - I've found in the past that having one or two close female friends makes all the difference in how I feel about a place. I hadn't even known this particular woman long enough to be that close, but it still feels like a blow to have her go.
This, too, shall pass, right?
