The Kid is installed at college, in a ridiculously tiny room with a football-playing roommate and hopefully a functioning internet connection. The last thing I heard as I left was the carillon playing "Gaudeamus Igitur" (from a building that's a replica of Tom Tower at Oxford), so, just perfect. I really didn't cry at all.
When the older one went off (by plane) four years ago, I was supposed to accompany him, but we had been back just days from Peru and in the time-honored fashion I caught a nasty stomach bug and had diarrhea for a month, especially on the day of the flight, so my husband had to go instead (at great expense, since of course we couldn't just switch my nicely-priced flight over to his name, but had to cancel and rebook). I'm glad I got to be the dropping-off parent this time.
I got a college-logo-emblazoned mug and a pair of fuzzy socks for my birthday. :) We're having the neighbors over for dinner Sunday; that's about all the fuss I can take.
Tomorrow: replacing broken cell phone charger; shopping; vacuuming; hopefully some time with the Betans; not missing The Kid too much.
*I know, I know. But it is a little Grey Havensy, even if I know I'll see him in October.
