My best friend J was in this part of the country temporarily for the last few days, but she’s leaving tomorrow to return to New Orleans. I love these visits, but I know it’s hard on her—she has a lot of friends and family out here, and it’s always a bit frenzied trying to see everyone.
It’s a bit busy for me, too, but not nearly so much. We had lunch on Tuesday, then hung out in Cheyenne a bit before I drove her back to Laramie. Then yesterday, I hit one Cheyenne Frontier Days party, took a nap, and went back to Laramie to hang out with J and some other friends. I don’t think it will get any less hectic—I have another CFD party on Saturday, one last week of work, finishing up with a party in Laramie on Friday, then I leave for Europe the following Monday.
But I digress. The point is that it was really nice to see J again so soon. We’ve lived in the same town a couple times in our long friendship (I’d say 3-4 out of the ten we’ve known each other), but usually when we are apart we may not see each other frequently enough. I never did get the chance to visit her in Ohio. But with her being in New Orleans, and with me going back for holidays, I get to see her far more regularly. And that’s fantastic.
