Dear T,
I managed to not email you last night. I sort of composed the email in my head, but didn't even get to the point of typing any of it up (what I wrote on here doesn't count). Talked about it a bit with H, which helped. And now there's potential good news (or at least not dire news) coming out about the variant. I'm sure you'd have been fine with my emailing and would have said something supportive this morning, but I also know I need to work on coping methods that don't involve you directly (your voice in my head doesn't count).

I do wish I was seeing you tomorrow instead of Monday--this long weekend just feels, well, extra long because aside from seeing my parents Thursday, we aren't doing much. Too cold to eat outside, plus D recovering from her shot (mostly doing OK, just has sniffles). Maybe I'll go someplace briefly tomorrow to get out of the house for a bit before my booster Monday.

Love and miss you,
LT
