The Donicamoon


Remember waaaaayyyy back when. When one of my favourite people and I were not speaking and it felt horrible. Well given time and a few emails things got back to normal and for once in my life (due to her crap luck) I got lucky and she came to work in the city for the summer.

This is another reason you were hearing crickets around here. Every spare second I could get I was spending on my Donicamoon.

We did all of our favorites – Shopping, Ikea trip, eating at a favorite restaurant, dinners and visits at all the beautiful houses she house sits, and of course going to an independent theater to watch film festival movies. Her love of artsy movies I can not find in anyone else. She came to my house, met G, and made fun of T. It was like old times.

If you are artsy there are two films (now available everywhere) I suggest:
1.       Your sister’s sister
2.       Take this waltz (beware of so long it is uncomfortable period of nudity)

The only thing that kept us apart (which felt like there was something constantly) was her work, G, other social activities for both of us.

Then came the bad news (for me anyway). She was being given back her old job at a University eight hours away beginning with the school year. The days became numbered and I was torn as this is the exact same time my sister was getting married. I couldn't be two places at once.

And just like that she was gone. I looked up the price of flights to visit, tried to come up with some time some how I could make the trip and it still hasn't happened and doesn't look like it will.

Time just continues to pass and we exchange emails and pictures and movie and book suggestions but it is just not the same. 

Oh what I would do for another Donicamoon....I'd add more minutes to the day, and try to eliminate more so we could do more. Life is too short to have a friend that lives so far away.
