Sometimes I feel my social life has evaporated a little bit. Surely this is possibly my fault, given the amount of time I've spent with Byron in the last year. And the many missions I've worked that suck me into weeks of oblivion. The other day, Sarah remarked that Cari and I behave like an old married couple sometimes because we do so much together. That made me realize, my evaporating social life has had as much to with the changes of others as myself - new boyfriends, new babies, new whatever that leads them away from doing things in a group, or at least in my group. So whereas we used to go out to big group activities, really all we do now is go out in little nuclear groups of twos and threes here and there merging to see a movie or have dinner (fish night remains ever popular and growing, that makes me happy)... and then drifting back to our own lives.

I guess that's part of being an adult. Still, maybe its coming off the social isolation of the mission and Byron being gone for one month already and another month to go and missing a ski trip this weekend for sim (the first time in 6 years our ski trip has fizzled from a fun group to nearly nothing) and then the potential for missing ANOTHER ski trip for another sim at the end of the month or Sarah not coming on an AE female mafia trip for the first time (Emily made a good substitute though) ... things just feel a little different lately.

Maybe this is just the nostalgia that comes from sitting home... alone... on a Saturday night... doing my taxes. Not even having a glass of wine because I'm trying to be healthier. Yes, I am that pitiful. A few years ago, having an entire weekend with no plans was unheard of for me. Now I am twiddling my thumbs.
