a long day, and parting is such sweet sorrow

i type this, sweating like a pig in my super-heated room, with mosquitoes buzzing around just itching to attack...

i can't believe i just typed that, but it stays.

today started with me sitting in on a meeting with some guy, then shopping and photocopying degree things... and eating a lot, donating some old clothes and shoes, my mom packing, having a good talk with her - and she is GORGEOUS in uniform, driving to the mongoose's (and getting lost a different way), having drinks with his folks (our 'rents seem to get along), and then missioning to the airport.

i was expecting to spend some time with my mom before she left, but the plans got skewed, so we said a hasty goodbye at the entrance, and i went off to return the car. i'm sure i got ripped. or, at least, my mom got ripped. not cool either way.

the mongoose drove me home, and i'm now sitting in the most rediculous scene - my apartment looks like a cartoon depiction of a messy home. so many things, no place, no inclination to tidy right now.

going to bed soon (after a desperately needed shower), then it's army time.

i miss my mommy already.
