missing everything

i'm a really, really bad blogger.
my newest adventure in life these days is substitute teaching, at the very school i got my little high school diploma from. the bathrooms smell the same, but the students all look so little. i think, "was i that little back then?" i almost feel compelled to pinch their cheeks like some ridiculous great aunty.
i miss city right now. i miss people (real people who have conversation and want to know about my life). that probably has a lot to do with the fact that i'm housesitting out in the sticks this week and have abundant conversations with a beagle but not much beyond.
i think i forgot to eat lunch today. there was no one around to remind me of my hunger.
i miss the assumptions i held so strongly to (not more than a few years back) that dinner time meant conversation and studying meant subtly hanging out with friends.
and, if you're reading this, i probably miss you too.
