It's amazing how used to other people we can get....to the point
where speaking every day, sharing thoughts and experiences
becomes such an important part of your day...
So, when that person needs to be away for a few days...how do
you fill those moments, and how do you replace the urge to run
and call, or write...and tell him/her what's happening in your life.
Things as simple as a tv show...we talk alot about grey's anatomy...somehow we feel identified with some of the characters
and the moments...
I always know what's for lunch, and I'm always asked how my day
is going...every day....except for the next couple of days...
It's only 10 days...out of which weekends I'm pretty much used to
being out of touch....but still....no good morning, or figuring out
the best time to speak during the day...every day...except for the next 10 days....
It sounds a little over the edge I know...but when you find that person...YOUR person...the one you want to tell about all of your
life....important, unimportant, relevant, irrelevant, what makes sense and what doesn't....knowing they'll be no judgement, but
better yet most of the time...hours of endless laughing....and even
when there's tears...or frustration....it makes my day....
Sounding a little anxious here...lol, which is why I guess I chose to blong about it....so that these 10 days go by smoothly...and I can
remember all the stories I'll have to tell upon my friend's return....
True friendship is felt, even without the constant contact...I know that...but still...it's the first time we've gone so long without any
kind of communication and it's scary, I'd hate to lose this special
something that we have...
And so I'm rambling...lol, as I would if I was speaking directly to my
friend...hmmmm, I might be on to something with this blog....liberating....and even funny...to read myself going through a
written anxiety attack of sorts....LOL.
10 days...and I'm starting the countdown.....

    it's funny....i'm going thru something similar for the next week or two with a good friend who is going to be camping out....
     
    i'm so used to talking and trading emails and keeping up with the day to
    day that i'm worried how much i'm going to miss having someone to talk to. 
    Funny how you get used to people...
    I think we'll both be fine...it'll just be hard while we adjust.

    Secret, your message made me smile....thanks! Somehow
    knowing that you're not alone in this whacky world is
    comforting...
    So, I'm not crazy...what a relief! hehehe....
    Habits are hard to break, especially when they're so
    enjoyable....but I think you're right...we'll be fine and there
    will be lots to tell our friends when they get back....

    Wow....I just went through this!  Seriously!  (lol...grey's anatomy!)  it was 5 days, but they were the 5 longest days of my life.  But, I did get through them somehow.  There are moments that seem almost like sheer torture....the urge to talk to them being SO strong, you almost think you can't stand it.  It always passes, yet always comes back too!  Thanks for sharing....good to know I'm not alone in my anxiety!!  lol

    omg@grey's anatomy reference minnie...
    you have no idea what that means to
    me....freaky!
    My friend and I, the one that's away...
    always reference it, relay it back to one
    another when someone didn't get to see it
    It's a big deal...
    Dreamer that I am....I'll say that means
    someone is thinking about me. Smiles.

I pulled a good one yesterday here at home and just thought I'd share for a laugh.

I got home two hours early from working 12 hours shifts for a few days, so I crawled into bed and meditated myself into a deep sleep, planning on just a nap. ...
Cast Iron, butter, some freshly crushed garlic, black pepper, a couple handfuls of mushrooms and, oh DEER !...
I dedicate these words to poetzsoul, in hopes that her next 25 years are motivating....
Tomorrow, I will be turning 26 years old. I don't want to say 26 flat out, but instead it is 25 plus 1. I thought it would sound catchy. If it doesn't let me know....
Its amazing how fast they learn and grow!...
