Day 1.
Took her to the airport. Watched her walk inside with the rolling suitcase. Got back in the car and turned on the radio. This is why I don't listen to the radio, I get angry.
Went home to work and supervise. Dog wouldn't leave me alone. Looked at me with those pleading eyes. "Where is she?"
Walked around in a stupor. All the life has gone out of the house. Is there a reason to live?
Went to the mailbox and found a Kohl's coupon. She would have loved this.
But she's only gone till Sunday.
Still, that's a lot of laundry.
Let Kaitlyn drive home from the gas station. Didn't get to tell her about it. She would have loved to hear about how terrifying it all was, not because Kaitlyn drove poorly, she did fine. Terrifying because she's growing up. And we're growing old.
Dog still clingy.
Day 1 coming to an end.
