Tomorrow morning Brett leaves for the Regional American Chemistry Society meeting in Indiana. He is presenting his research work and poster at the meeting as well as sitting at an ISU booth to recruit students and graduate students. He is leaving around 6:30 tomorrow morning, so I will be home alone all day until I have to go to work. Then when I come home from work in the morning Brett will still be gone and I will sleep at home alone all day on Thursday. Then I will wake up Thursday and go to work all night and when I get home Friday morning Brett will still be gone and I will sleep all day by myself. And how is this different than any other day when he is gone at school and I am sleeping at home all day by myself, or at work at night you might ask? BECAUSE HE WILL BE IN A DIFFERENT STATE, not just down the street at school. Ever since we spent 10 weeks apart when I was in Illinois as an intern, I have dreaded being apart again. I mean, what if something breaks on my car and I don't know how to fix it, or if something starts leaking in the house and I don't know what to do, or what if it storms, or what if I don't have hot water because something went wrong or the AC stops working.....I mean think of all the things that could possibly go wrong!!
And so, if you read this, think of me as I am home alone sleeping with my 2 cats, as my wonderful husband is away being all smart. I think I will survive.
I finally got caught up on your blog, Emily. You didn't post for quite a while and I got used to not checking, sorry. Seriously, we couldn't tell that you were hot and sweaty at the state park, the pictures were kind. I sounds like a nice day. Those are fun things to do. Thanks for the pictures, they reminded me of our time in Washington (or was it Oregon) visiting the falls when we were out there to see Rebecca.
