Good visit. A couple of hours. Had some conversation this time, which was good. The last few months of son living at my house did not involve much conversation, even when we made appointments to go have dinner or coffee together.

Just son. No girlfriend with us today. That was nice. I wanted to visit with him, not her.

I tried my best to keep from being pathetic. I did tell him I'm lonely and he can't ignore me all week except for two or three texts asking me for something.

And then he was gone.

I'm back to being by myself with the pets and the Internet.

He asked if we can have lunch next weekend and I said yes, that would be nice, etc.

I think it will help me live through the week knowing I'll get to see him next weekend. I had to live through this first week having no idea when I would see him again (since he didn't contact me except for the 2 or 3 texts asking for something), and then the invitation to have lunch today came late in the week.

So, yeah, knowing that we'll get together next weekend should help me stay sane. Make the days seem a little less like torture.
