Goodbye

Andrew left today for a 2-week trip to Addis. One does not take a job in a foreign country without having a nearly uncontrollable itch to travel around and see new countries, so I was happy for him and excited for his trip.We were all disappointed that he was going to miss the Princess Leia debut at Halloween, but since I've missed Halloween before because of cool international travel we tried to act like we were OK with it. Until the taxi came and picked him up. ARGH!!! I hate to see him go! Unexpectedly, my first thought as he drove away, was, "How can you bring me all the way to Nairobi and leave me here?" Kiddo and I spent the rest of the afternoon at the pool. I'll be OK with it, just give me a day or two.
