As I sit in a quiet apartment in the outskirts of Ljubljana, Slovenia, I am wondering if I will ever be in this chair again. The girls and I will be on our way home to Akron early tomorrow morning to visit and await news on where Jimmy will finish the season. My emotions on the departure are mixed, I feel so bad for Kali - she loves her school and her friends here. At the same time, Jimmy is miserable playing on this team and is dog tired - mentally, more than physically. Peyton and I are into our well established routine of the last 5 months and find some comfort in the familiarity of it all, even if we don't like the city much. So, the thought of never coming back here is not as pleasant as I expected it would be. Of course, it is never easy to leave Jimmy behind, even if it's only for a couple of weeks. All three of us are pretty attached to him ;) Hopefully, we will only be separated for a little while.

Jimmy gave me an early Valentine's Day present yesterday - a long Thai massage! Just what I needed to get me prepared for the trip. I will definitely miss the Thai massage place on the corner of our street. That is a wonderful place! It will be just about the only thing I will truly miss about this city!
