Welcome to November

A couple of months ago, a friend asked me about my separation, "Are you lonely?". I somewhat laughed, because throughout the summer and fall, I obsessively scheduled myself on my every free night of the week (usually 3 or 4 nights a week). Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday something was going on to keep me occupied or distracted.

My answer: "I've been far too busy to be lonely. I think I've got it penciled in for November, though".

Well, now it's November.

And, yes, I'm lonely.
