jet lag

I'm feeling a bit worn out today. sluggish. got home from LA yesterday. those days. the day before we leave. the day of departure. the day after we arrive back. so very hard. emotionally. my eyes well with tears. my stomach lumps. my heart is heavy. just knowing that I have to leave. am about to go. am without them again.

the overwhelming-ness of it will pass. but the ache lingers.

so bear with me while I pity party. and get back into the steady hum of normal life. life is good. just a bit far away.
