Gone (NaBloPoMo Day 16)
Gail and Cody had to get up and leave early this morning, on a plane bound for Arizona. Gail’s cousin is getting married, so they’re flying back for the weekend. Sarah and I have a soccer tournament this weekend, so we’re here.
Whenever Gail’s gone, whether it’s for a weekend like this, an overnight trip, or hell, even for a stretch of a few hours, I worry. I suppose this is natural, but my problem is I take it to the extreme. And not only do I imagine a worst-case scenario, I then proceed to think of how my life will change, how I’m going to cope, will I stay here, move to be closer to family, what do I do with her stuff, oh man the plants will die!
Of course, I’m thinking about this stuff in the shower this morning, and then start thinking about the Law of Attraction I was talking about last week, and I panicked and was like “No! I’m not thinking about that! I’m thinking about talking to her and hearing about her weekend come Sunday night! REALLY!”
Yeah – I’m a dork.
