A 2x4 from a local friend reminded me of the mantras I used right after the bomb: "I'm not pining. I'm moving on with my life." Very helpful. With my focus readjusted, last night's lengthy weekly phone call with P was more relaxed and pleasant.

More dates with Pia, as I'm on the road again. That's always helpful, too.
