Lessons Learned

Today Lucy comes home from an extended holiday vacation with her Grammy. Not having her around for a few days has been just plain weird. Weird because we’re going on with our everyday lives, but she isn’t in them (except via phone) and weird because I’m starting to see a bit of what my life would be like if the pill hadn’t failed three years ago. Here are my conclusions:

– Thank effing God that pill failed three years ago!
– I should make more of an effort to go to live concerts
– If you talk to people, they usually respond pleasantly
– My husband and I would have very little in common without Lu
– My job would be much harder if I went out drinking during the week
– I need more local friends
– Local radio celebrities that are forced to hang out with you for three plus hours do not count as friends
– Lucy gives my life a purpose that it would be empty without
– Life is good

Now I will return to counting down the moments until I can once again spend my evenings in bed watching Finding Nemo instead of rocking out at a Republic Tigers concert. All will be normal again soon.
