A major change is the lack of time spent sitting alone in the dark navel gazing and pondering the significance in and meaning of
everything. It will drive you crazy.
But I convince myself of melodrama and then the universe throws things in my face that demand pause. They
demand it.
Jen Mathers.
Carlos.
Two in one day. Both recently on my mind.
Jen is amazing. No time has passed, even though she will be having a baby before Christmas. I miss her.
Carlos. So much time has passed. And he, as usual, fills in the gaps with melodrama that even I roll my eyes at. Until I realize that he isn't kidding, and our stories almost match. Eloquent timing. We made "the wedding pact" once. The one where if you're not married in X years, you marry each other. I remember I wanted to make the pact for 5 years and Carl said "no, trust me, when 5 years come you are going to want 5 more". Neither one of us today can remember the deadline, but he said "we have time".
It has been two weeks since moving day. Things are coming along slowly. This may possibly be the most drawn out process of changing dwellings that I can remember. Or maybe my weary mind just can't handle all the commotion.
For the first time,
school rocks.
For the millionth time, things could be coming together.
