Well, at least I know that I still love him.
Guy went back to work today. He left about 7:00 AM, because that is what he does. The first time he has to be somewhere, he leaves about a week early so that he won't have any chance of being late. It's one of his many endearing qualities.
Today the house was so quiet though. As I sat in front of the computer hitting "check mail" like I had a tic, there was this thick silence all around me. I would step out of my room and look around, perking my ears up for any sound. There was nothing.
Guy walks around the house singing and talking to the dogs. He makes up words to jingles and songs, often incorporating the word schmoopie into them. I tease him that he just likes the sound of his own voice.
Really though? I like the sound of his voice. I love the sound of his voice. I miss the constant chatter of noise that goes on when he is here.
I miss my Guy.
I'm wishing that we could go back to our original plan of spending his severance package on lottery tickets. Powerball indeed.

Silence can be so loud

don't you love that comforting presence that is there when they are around, yet not talking to you?
ReplyDeletelol at schmoopie... jason goes through periods where he sings some 50's song, shpoopie, or something like that. i think he heard it on family guy.
I don't even know guy or you, but I feel so lonely for you.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the dogs miss him too.

ReplyDeleteRegarding your twitter comment... I felt that way in the beginning, so happy to feel nauseated, have sore boobs, etc. Then, it got old after a while. Then comes the second trimester, where nothing happens, and you want those pukey days back.
Wonder how PupStar is going to react when you go running to the bathroom... my dog(s) would get super-worried about me, and would race with me. I swear, if they could have fetched me a cool cloth for my throat, they would have.
My K has to leave a week early too. Jeez.
ReplyDeleteYou've had quite a few couple of days. Between feeling the sadness of others in the blogging world & your Guy leaving....hope you find a peaceful place to relax & recharge!
