then there were two

and so today, after having been home for a lot longer than planned, my sister left us to got back to London, where she works. in the meantime, we were actually lucky enough to have her by herself, meaning, without the other members of our family. just the 3 of us. it was really nice. like old times. i've really missed that, and so, i suspect, have my sister and my father. so now, it's really weird that she's gone. possibly, she won't be back before the house is sold. we are hoping she'll make time, though, especially as she's voiced her wish to help me with my own move into my new apartment. we went for another visit the other day, measuring everything, and we got talking about where to put what. it was really nice to have her input. even though we often disagree, she has a sound sense of aesthetics. miss her.
