It’s so fuckin’ quiet. I have both tv’s on and all I hear is silence. There’s a loneliness that slowly consumes me the later it gets. I should go to bed, but there’s nobody there. I don’t feel ready for sleep.

I lived by myself for seven years and was never lonely. Turns out, I never had anyone I really missed. I’ve been singing Cinderella all week long. That’s really strange, because I never really liked them as a band. I LOVE my wife, and she’s been gone for a whopping three days. That’s not very long, but I really miss her. I seriously can’t remember when the last time we spent time apart was. I know how cheesy it sounds, but it’s true.

I feel like I’m just sitting around waiting. I hate waiting. Ask Fiona. I’m really bad. This is a different kind of wait. It’s not like a slow checker at the grocery store or being stuck in traffic. I can’t change lines or exit and take the long way. This is one I’ll just have to sit out. The waiting ends tomorrow morning, but I’ll be at work by then. Somehow I’m thinking it’ll be different once she’s off the plane. Does that make any sense?

I’m feeling better now that I’ve jotted this down. It’s not like having her here, but I’m sending a little piece of myself all the way to Seattle to be with her. I hope she sees this before she gets home. I’m letting everyone read it, but it’s mostly for her.

Baby, I miss you! I need you around to brighten up this joint. Turn it back into a home. See you soon!!!!

Update; I just finished watching the Cinderella video. It took 25 years, but I think they’re growing on me. Here’s another video you may or may not remember. I may have even seen these guys in concert, 80’s were a long time ago.
