I was at the dentist promptly at 8 am today to get my crown. It's amazing how thrilling it can be to be able to chew on both sides of my mouth again. It's the little things that count. I'm very excited about my friend coming to visit. Lots of ideas for baby trips are whirling around in my head, and there are kids to see and food to eat and movies we could watch. But the best, of course, is just the talking, checking out our lives with each other. Now we do that once a week by phone, but it's never quite as good, especially with this annoying call waiting which always beeps when I'm on the line, and half the time I pick it up and the other half I don't, but it's phonus interruptus either way.
I know which bed she likes to sleep in, what she wants for breakfast, her favorite wine, what she likes to see. I feel her feelings before she expresses them, and we have the ability to get pissed off at each other and square it almost instantly. We genuinely admire each others children and granddaughters, and love to hear more about them. How many people can you say that about?
So it's a good week for me. I know that already. A great way to start off the new year. And we won't do anything big, just be together, which is, the rarest and biggest deal of all.
