This is one of those days when I wish I could just do whatever I want to do and not worry any longer about the job. My spouse headed North for a check-up with her oral surgeon and took Tennis Girl home. I should have gone with her. Native Minnow left at the same time to take his kids back and pick up the DNA for his experiments from the lab up North.
We have been in a super quiet house since fall when our youngest daughter left for college but it doesn't hold a candle to how it feels tonight. Now I know a little bit how Inklings feels to be here all day alone.
Could someone call me a wahmbulance?
Some say the world will end with fire.
Others say with ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those that favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate,
To say that for destruction ice,
Is also great and would suffice.

For what it's worth, it probably just seems like more fun when you don't go than it actually is. Travel eight or more hours to see your kids for just a few hours...
I wish my daughter wouldn't have gotten sick because I was planning on coming down this weekend and seeing everyone, too. I thought since there was a long weekend, I would go see Gmas and Gpa, but that didn't seem to work out. I don't want to be responsible for giving them a virus that kills them. :)
Being alone isn't very fun...Unless you have money and cool hobbies. :)
And you don't know how Inklings feels, because I was only gone about 30 hours, and when you go on fires you are gone two weeks.
