change in the weather

This past week was beautiful and sunny and warm... very UNLIKE November weather in western PA. It was great to be able to get out and get things done without bundling up. 2 Days ago, all the leaves were still changing and just starting to fall, and as I drive into work this morning I find that most of those leaves have now fallen due to the chold temps and rain that blew thru here Friday night. Fall is quickly turning into winter... Not really all that thrilled.
So, 2 weeks have gone by since Kim was here to visit, and some days it feels like MONTHS have past, and yet other moments ( and memories ) feel like it was yesterday. I know it sounds cliche' but it's true. We waited months to get a chance to see each other and those 3 days flew by, and once again we count the days until we get the chance again. Luckily it won't be months again before that happens, but only weeks. When asked how many days, it's been more likely to hear me say "TOO MANY" than give an exact day count.
Maybe it's a bit sappy, or old fashioned to miss someone these days, but I do. Sometimes it feels great to miss her and know that I'm lucky I have someone to miss, and other days it's torture knowing she's "X" miles away and I just can't swing by to see her. So, in the next 2 weeks I can wait and bide my time until I can see her and know that it will be time well spent and that I have to cherish that time since you never can tell what the future holds, but I hope it's a bright one, because she'll be in it to make it that way.

Ok.. I'm done being Mr. Sappy for now... :)
