after a great weekend visiting my family in the Midwest, I returned home.  Before walking in the front door, I arrived at the airport, and instead of thinking, "I am so excited to see him! I can't wait to see where he's at!" I thought, "I'm so excited to see the Metro!  I hope I time it right so I don't have to wait long."  I must say, it is a bit sad to not have someone to greet me & hug & kiss me.  I also think that if now was the right time for a nice relationship like that, then it would happen, so I'll enjoy where I am.  I'm grateful for public transportation & for not having to inconvenience anyone.  I also think that I complain too much, so I'll try to post positive things now, or at least balance perspectives.  I'd had a bad attitude (trying to turn that around) this week.  I'm so glad it's almost Friday.

I've had helpful, friendly people in reference to my teeth today (suspicious dark area on x-ray) which I'm happy about, since that helps me not worry.
I'm 'home' more or less now.  Technically, cat-/house-sitting at a friend's, but my keys are with me and no longer locked in my desk drawer at work (thank God for access codes/cards that work after bus. hours).
I run into so many important people, including you.  I'm glad that you made time for me today, and I wish you the best.
