Notes to self:

Unless it involves saving the innocent or a close family member's wedding or something, never ever EVER travel at xmastime.

Loneliness will not kill you.

Neither will mom's rib roast. (The pound-and-a-half baked potato might, but you didn't HAVE to eat it ALL.)

Bring a book. Always bring a book.

Ways, if you are me, to feel better when you're blue:

1) Spend an hour or so chatting with someone who loves you and makes you laugh. (Thanks, stonebender!)

2) Have the following email exchange with someones else who love you (Thanks, someotherguy and sogwife!):

>Thanks for the snuggles.  I'm tempted to make a
>new personal rule wherein we are never allowed
>to be apart ever again, but I know it
>wouldn't work.  Dammit.

Probably not, but we can try

>Okay, you two, tell me you love me. :-)

I love yoooooooooooooooooooou

sogwife says she loves you too ( from her comfy nest in the bed )

3) Eat a really lot (no, really, a REALLY lot) of pudding and yogurt. (Dairy is comfort food for me. It really works. Let me say "really" a few more times. Really, really, really.)

4) Open the door at midnight to a Munchkin who was just missing you and jumps at the chance to go back to zir place to get you some trashy murder mystery books to read.

5) No, really, a LOT of pudding and yogurt.
