Now playing: "White Cliffs of Dover" by Eric Jackson. Johnson? Whatever.

So Dad's departure date is either Monday or Tuesday. I can't believe he's actually going. I'm going to miss him and his drop-in-unannounced ways.

It will be hard to adjust. I was young when Karen and Jen moved out west - I never really knew a daily life with them. The only local family will be Granny (for who knows how much longer), Mom, and Melanie. What will become of Christmas Eve? *sigh* I'll have to start some new traditions, I guess. This just seems to make me have to face how alone I really am, and I don't like it.

================

I can't wait for vacation the first week of July. I'm going to Bar Harbor for this year's Words-L fest, aptly named Acadiafest. Jury duty on 6/30 better not screw anything up.
