I'm really bothered that I'm so busy and stressed out. This time of year is typically so nice with the weather turning hot and endings approaching. However, I'm so stressed that I'm crotchety with everyone- students, Troy, Henry... Hopefully the stress will dissipate soon.
Henry has turned into such a weird dog. We still love him, but we're perplexed by his strange combination of absolute wildness (such as LAUNCHING himself at Troy when he was watching television and nearly killing him) and his absolute relaxtion (like now, when he's asleep by the sofa bed while I type). I can't wait until he's always laid back, if he ever reaches that point.
I continue to think about the fact that my parents are moving soon. The geographic issue isn't a big deal. I don't really care where they live, although I'd like them to live nearer to me. If I could trade Mom and Dad for Jerry Falwell, I would in a heartbeat. The big deal? The change of phone numbers. For the last twenty years, if I need moral support, medical information, running help, love, attention, or weather advice, I called the same number. That's all about to change. What if I have an emergency and I can't remember their number? What if I'm attacked by bears and need medical advice? What if there's a freak typhoon in Virginia and I need help? What if my whole world falls apart and I can't remember a dagblasted phone number?!?
Sigh. Three more days.

Sweetie, that's what cell phone phonebooks are for. You'll live. It'll be ok.
ReplyDeleteYou're right T -- the cell phone phone book is great for this, but I understand some of Steph's anxiety. We're not 'number' people. Numbers are one of the hardest things for me to commit to memory.
ReplyDeleteI'm in worse shape concerning this because it's embarassing not to be able to remember your own phone number. I'm going to have to repeat it like a zillion times before I will have it in my memory bank. [I would certainly draw some strange looks if I have to look up my own number on the cell phone addressbook -- though you can be sure it will be stored under your Dad's name just in case ;-) ]
