The Toy Theatre Festival is in full swing now. 2 days down then a little vacation. Becoming quite a bit anxious about this exchange project – not about anything in particular, just worrying in general. I am my mother.

The boy leaves tonight for vacation & I leave for Canada a day after he gets back. So, we won’t really see each other for a little over a month now. It’s never until right before he goes that it sinks in & I realise that I am in fact going to miss him. It’s good though – I’m a fan of spending time apart; absence makes the heart grow fonder & all that.
