I missed a girl

Posted on 1 March 2009 by kyknoord

Looks like I'm going to be giving up demons for Lent
*sigh*

Dolce is away on an extended business trip. I miss her already.

Now before any well-meaning soul gets the urge to make a really helpful suggestion like, “oh, just go over and visit”, I should perhaps mention that owing to certain – uh – circumstances I’d rather not go into, I am no longer in possession of a passport. Consequently, travel beyond the borders of the .za domain is an avenue that is closed to me.

It’s going to be a long two months.

Ok won’t be all–aaawww, poor thing. I missed my hubby when he went away for 18 days. I can’t imagine him gone for 2 months. I bought all kinds of little gifts for him while he was gone, e-mailed and sent pics of the puppies and my stepson. It was nice to give him all the little stuff when he came home. Talk to her every night, miss her and love her more when you see her again.
