| Leaving on a Jet Plane |
| 01.05.04 (2:25 pm) [edit] |
Don't know when I'll be back again. Today I'm leaving the land of Mickey Mouse, Shamu and Jaws to head back to Texas and I'm a little choked up about it. Being here was truly a vacation. I did not pick up a single journal article or scribble nonsense on paper about my dissertation. I felt free and relaxed and I gained 5lbs without hating myself for it. I had home-cooked meals twice daily loaded with carbs. I will wait till Friday to start hating myself for it.
This morning Mom left for Jamaica. It happened so quickly, probably because we all woke up 20 minutes late and had to rush. I giggled at my Mom as she tried to drink scalding hot tea in 5 minutes. She just smiled at me. As she drove off for the airport I could feel the loss come over me. I miss her fussing over me and telling me to eat something. I wish we were all headed home in the same direction. But alas, the vacation is over. It's back to reality. Bud has to get back to work, and I have to get back to tutoring, writing and justifying my existence.
As much as I hate leaving here, I miss my own bed, my own PC, Della, my own kitchen and frozen dinners, my Salvation Army couch and my half-dead plants (which will now be fully dead when I return). I'll miss being able to walk around naked without fear of shocking my Mom or other relatives. I miss watching the weather report and seeing Central Texas rather than Central Florida (so strange a map).
Well, my bags are packed and I'm ready to go.... see y'all on the other side.
