Merry Christmas. It is good to be in California. Mom. Dad. Papa. Brother. Dogs. Food. Sleep. Re-acquiring things that used to be mine.
I had been asking for a feather bed thinking that my parents would be much more likely to buy me that over the diamond earrings I have been asking for since I graduated college.
They bought me the diamond earrings.
Last night I fell asleep thinking about where I was at in my life at this time last year. A word of advice: don't go there.
Last year I felt safe in my job, planned on staying at least one more year, had what seemed a solid group of friends, loved my students, loved my house, and it looked like Mr. Math and I were going to make a go of it. (He even had a cameo in my Christmas letter.) 25 was looking good and I was completely enjoying it... little did I know what lay ahead.
I dreampt of Mr. Math all night.
And, today, I miss him.
One of my former students e-mailed me and mentioned that last week he had been using the Nalgene water bottle I gave him.
And because I miss him, I'm gonna read as much into that as I want to.
