Well I usually get this way a little when I spend too much time by myself. I'm a pretty social guy and really feed off having a lot of interaction with others, especially friends and family. My wife used to say that to recharge I needed to be around others while for her to recharge she needed to be alone. It's the classic extrovert and introvert personalities. While our separation is probably helping her slowly but surely for me it at times is like a slow death. That's why I am constantly doing things with friends or talking with them, it helps me keep my sanity.

As for Vegas, don't get me wrong I am enjoying it, it's just that I would enjoy it even more if I had someone close to share it with even if they were at home.

Now a bit more journaling, I just approved emails in D10s outbox that she sent to a friend back in the UK. It was her best friend and neighbor, a boy that lived a few doors up from us and was in her class. Her email said, "Hi X, I miss you a lot. I am friends again with some of my old friends finally. I can't believe I am 10 now!"

So now I think I know why the last few nights when I've talked with her she's been down, she misses her friends and best friend in England. She eluded to this the other day and I didn't pick up on it. I think she's also down about Mom and Dad too, she's asked me a good number of times lately when I'm going to move home or flat out asks me to move home.
