Hope you have a productive and safe stay in VA. That really is a great area to visit.

That's me. I miss my animals. I miss my family. And my friends. I'm much better today, though!

For someone like you, if a client seems nice ask if he'd like to do dinner - I'm still under the belief many of us are looking for more than sex but not a relationship so the time with a nice person would be good.
Good luck!

Actually, I met with a female friend on Wednesday and we had a nice dinner. And I had plans to see a client, off of the clock, on Thursday but he had to do something else.
I also, generally, see this as almost a mini-vacation away from home, etc. But now, for me, well things are going very well on the home and work front. I'm at a good place. And when I found myself AWAY ... for a few days, boy ... I just got REALLY homesick.
These feelings just ended yesterday around lunch!

You're in Arlington Va. and there is so much to see. I'm a military history buff so I'd be pretty busy there. Find something that captures your interest and go do it. Eat where the locals eat and stay away from anything that's a chain. Check Urbanspoon for that.
I know it doesn't look right or smell right where you are. Just try to explore the new. Good luck.

Thanks for the good wishes, Dharma! I'm actually at cataclystcon.com
I arrived here a few days early to work and well, play some, too. But I'm super busy with classes and that has helped with the homesick feelings.
Just wanted to write a quick note to thank those who have sent me a PM, and called
, and just offered advice.
I SO SO SO SO SO SO appreciate it!
I've traveled quite a but in the past. This is, seriously, one of the few times that I've gotten so homesick that I've (seriously X 10) thought of just coming home. Even yesterday morning, I considered it.
So glad that I didn't, though. This trip is rocking.
More soon. Or later! I wish that I had time to respond to everyone but I have to run to another class!
Happy Sunday!!!
Sincerely,
Elisabeth
