Willing time to slow down...

It's Saturday and even though I have another three days with Alex, his impending departure is starting to hang over us like a black cloud. I know we are closer than ever to getting together permanently but these constant good byes do take a toll. I get very sad when he has to leave. Watching the Coach bus take him off to O'Hare is one of the hardest things I ever have to do. I literally sit in my car in the parking lot and cry before I can see to drive home. But I don't want to mess up our last few days together this time by being sad now so I'm pushing those melancholy thoughts to the back of my brain and that's that!

Oh, by the way, the Polar Bear Plunge that I wrote about before? Turns out that even was actually cancelled by the people promoting it. Apparently, my niece and nephew and the 30 or so crazy people who did take the plunge were actually breaking the law! Hahaha! And there we were - their loving family - cheering them on while they did!!
