First night alone, okay. Mood crashed, I handled it with help. Slept all right.

Feeling a low hum of anxiety this morning. I worry about tonight, but... I should be okay. I'll focus on work today. Tonight I'll spend time in the kitchen reintroducing myself to cooking dinners.

Just a few more days until I can just relax in Houston and not be so painfully lonely. I worry about how bad things will be in my own head when I get back, but... I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

Got in some video-chat time with Will. <3

Austria is very, very quiet, which he'd mentioned before. Things that would normally never wake him up here can startle him out of a deep sleep. The weather has cooled a lot and he keeps the windows open at night and the bed and pillows and blankets are really comfortable. It sounds lovely.

Most people he's run into speak English. Only once or twice he's run into some one who doesn't and has had to rely on his complete lack of charades skills (Some guy tried to ask what time it was and Will thought he wanted a beer... so his answer ended up being awkward and the guy thought Will was saying "it's time for beer!")

He says training is boring so far. His walk to and from work is exhausting.

He showed me some of the food he's bought. He says Austria, from what he's figured out so far, has a weird obsession with paprika. It's in everything. For some reason learning this made me really really happy. I love the small little details of different places in the world, the kind of thing locals don't even think to mention and the things you'll of course never read in a travel guide. Just... odd little differences.

I got a bit emotional during the first part of the chat. My mood's been really iffy since last night. But talking with him helped, a lot. <3

He's keeping an eye on how much of the area is wheelchair friendly for when he can eventually bring me along. The B&B he's staying at definitely isn't but he assumes if he brings me then his company will provide us a more accessible place to stay. Otherwise I can apparently get around to quite a lot of places, though I assume if I'm going to bring the scooter I'll end up leaving it outside a lot while in stores since a lot of them are pretty cramped. That's normal enough for Europe I think. That's okay.

So, yeah. He's doing okay. Adjusting to jetlag as quickly as possible... it's 10pm right now over there and he's exhausted. He's gonna put in a movie to fall asleep to.

Hopefully tomorrow we can talk a little sooner. And hopefully a bit of video then, too, since I likely won't have camera access at the right time Wednesday.

I miss the hell out of him. But thank all the powers that be for technological advances that allow me to talk with him as often as possible. <3

Me earlier today: I've got stuff to get done before Saturday. Eh, that's all week. That's fine.

My schedule: What if you had something to do EVERY NIGHT THIS WEEK except for one?

Me now: ... Well, fuck.

Oh well, all the plans are fun and I still have time during the days to do the important things (mainly work on some commissions, do a comic for next week early and maybe the week after, do laundry, pack, clean up the house as much as possible, stuff like that)

Whee!

Halloween is soon, right?

Soon enough for this gif, dammit.
