it's not the same

[rone]

Even though Kim's gone for a shorter period of time than i was in India, it feels completely different.  In India, i was a fish out of water, so my attitude was one of pure efficiency: take care of self, take care of work, tour if possible.  I missed home, but it wasn't something that depressed me.  But now i'm the one left at home, and i feel wholly adrift.  Going to work is perfunctory; i come home and i'm bereft.  I'm pathetic and it disgusts me.  And yet it's only for a couple of days more, so really, what the hell am i whining about?

Worked for me. The old screwmounts aren't that expensive. Call Tamarkin in NYC for what they have post-auction in III's.

More seriously, learn something to surprise Kim when she gets back. Or go shopping for something not that expensive but something you think she'd like.

My dad used to buy us little presents when he went to NYC on business. It's the reverse principle here -- and you can bore shop clerks in antique and used stores about her.
