I've been back in Abkhazia for half a week and the weather has matched my mood. Rainy and Grey. I'm sure I feel this way because it will be a long time (11 weeks) before I see D again. Today (Saturday) I am feeling a bit better and am reading a good book (The Almost Moon) and will go out for a walk if it manages not to pour rain (weather report say cloudy but not rainy). Tonight is a going away party for a bunch of military who are leaving UNOMIG, such is the nature of this place. Hopefully they will be replaced by another good group of guys to hang out with.
Chatted with Mom on the phone about everything, she is visiting LW, Lars, Anna and Rubus. LW is chatty in her own language and you can hear her in the background. She plays with her dog Rubus and annoys Mom's dog Quinn. Mom and Nonie are coming to England in May so we talked about flights and things to do. Im happy they are coming. Mom will fix up the garden for us since she has green hands (she is WAY better than a green thumb). Nice and easy day trips for Nonie so she doesnt get too tired out. D says he is moving since there will be 5 womyn in his house. Mom, Nonie, Me, Arch and Beagle, thinking I should just slip D estrogen so he can join in the fun.
The rain here is amazing, like the rain in Sierra Leone it pours down by the tanker truck full, only its alot colder. There isnt a real drainage system so the walkways and streets get flooded. I love to walk through the cold water in my flip flops. People look at me like im a weirdo (which I am), but I believe that if my bare feet get wet they will dry quickly, if I had shoes and socks on they would remain wet and damp all day and my feet would be little ice cubes.
Absense may make the heart grow fonder, but its heart breaking to be absent from the one you love.
