Dear T,
I sort of want to email you like just to say hi/make sure you still exist. But I'll try not to do that. I figure if I get through tomorrow morning without emailing, then I'm good. As I see you early Monday afternoon anyway. I think it's being alone in the house that makes me want to reach out more. And H and D also return tomorrow, so that will go away, too. Hm, maybe it's also because I'm writing about ex-MC for the memoir class? Yeah, that's probably part of it. Plus talking about you to R yesterday (and Monday), though much of yesterday's discussion about you was positive (less so Monday!).

OK, that's a lot of reasons! So the fact that I haven't says something. It doesn't feel like it's about our email discussions. (I imagine it would be completely fine if I emailed something brief.) More that I want to actually have something to say and to feel some real need to reach out to you in order to do so while you're on vacation. Not just for the sake of reaching out. I mean, it would be nice to see a "Yes, I still exist! I'll see you tomorrow." in my inbox in the morning. But do I *need* that? Or even really really want it?

We'll see how I feel in a few hours or when I'm randomly awake at 3 a.m. Safe travels if you're still away, or sleep well if you're home.

Love,
LT
