lonely.

shannon's gone on his birch bark canoenion, and i am alone at our new house, with the dog, for the first time.

like usual, it was awesome for a little bit, and then now it's pretty lonely.

i am eating reheated pizza for dinner and i'm going to watch 'the west wing.'

i have really a lot of things that need to get done, but i'm having a hard time getting anything done. my room is a disgrace, and i haven't been home enough to work on unpacking and stuff. it's just getting worse. i should've worked on it tonight, but i didn't. feeling sad.

one great accomplishment for today: i got the invitation to mom's memorial party out. it took me forever to do it, through a mixture of sadness, resistance, and technical problems, but it's done. so, there's that. spoke to mom's mortgage company about some business stuff and was blessed to get the world's most helpful phone operator. she was amazing. i feel like sending her flowers.

i think i could use some help getting business taken care of.
