Thanks chaps. Means a lot. We stayed overnight at a hotel on Saturday just to make sure she was going to be ok. And said goodbye properly yesterday after a nice meal out.
By a very cool coincidence she found out that one of her closest friends from home is moving into the same student halls building as her today. So that gave us a sense of relief. They will absolutely look out for each other.
It’s me and Rachel that are having the hard time I think. It’s just really quiet. After 18 years of noise, companionship, arguments and laughs… it’s a fucking big hole in our lives.
But she’ll be home soon enough. And for the moment I have time and peace. It’s just a shame I don’t really want those things right now.
I’ll throw myself into my MA and my work and the house and starfield and get my sim rig set up again.
Sorry about the hair SRR … mine’s just turning white from the beard upwards. If Rachel would just let me shave my beard off I might look considerably younger but she says I look like some kind of potato stranger.
