[listening (somewhat obviously): Peter,Paul & Mary "Leaving on a Jet Plane"]
My bag is packed and I'm ready to go.
Julie and I are being honest about my departure but we're both trying to have a normal day together without too much sadness. A few days ago was worse; it was an overwhelming prospect for her and I was afraid that my last few days in Seattle would be full of sadness and snippy fights instead of the hope and excitement normally in our lives.
So we've made a conscious choice to let ourselves enjoy this time together. We went out for an amazing meal at the Pink Door yesterday. Thank you to Peter and Nancy for the birthday gift certificate there! Our waitress was actually quite helpful in helping us to gain perspective on our time apart; her boyfriend travels for work for three to four months at a time. He returns from Philedelphia tomorrow. I thought that she had some good suggestions and peace about it. She also brought us some free dessert for being so adorable. ;)

Jibe on striving for normalcy in the face of change, though sometimes it feels next to impossible. Sometimes I find myself missing Sam before we're even apart, which is a bit silly. Also, I somehow find the ache of missing someone while still in their presence to be more painful than the gentle missing of someone who is gone.
