Possibly against my better judgment, I decided to go on vacation with my Dad and family to Tahoe the weekend before I have to move. I've been trying my hardest to relax, but with a research deadline hanging over my head and weird/scary dreams about my sister going to college, it's been rough getting into the vacation mindset. Margaritas help, I've found. So does running 3 miles in high altitude with a marathon-pro of a father.
Katie is moving into Berkeley today. I got to see her for about 10 minutes on Friday before leaving for Tahoe. It was hard to say goodbye, even though it's not like she's moving across the country or anything. She'll actually be closer to home than I am. But it's more than her moving away. She's growing up, and becoming less of a "little" sister. Younger, sure, but not so little. I am unspeakably proud of her and all that she's accomplished, but a part of me wants to keep her as my little seastar forever.
Just finished "Julie & Julia," and will post about that as soon as I get enough of my research duties done to quell my guilt over being so lazy about it these last few weeks.

I heart you. and I KNOW its hard. I'm here. and I love you. We should talk soon.
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to the little sister thing. My sister is a senior in high school now and drives and has a job and got all independent somehow when I was away at college. And I still think of her as a baby. I keep saying, "When did you grow up? Where was I??" It's strange. I'll have to work on taking her more seriously.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything :)
