I had fallen asleep fairly early last night yet despite that, when Alexa woke me this morning, I purposely ignored her. Considering I usually wake up before the alarm clock goes off, that’s unusual. The difference in my eyesight this morning was immeasurable. Whereas the previous morning I could barely look at my iPhone screen, today I was reading news as 
usual.
Dropped Mags off at school and not once did she have to steer for me. I even forgot the baseball cap at home which had been a key light/eye-shielder. I made it to work and this time, I didn’t have to burst into tears as I parked under the oak tree.
I ran into the school to write my kid (client) a note which explained the staff meeting we had (I’d told him before, but I also understand forgetting). I headed to juvie for a busy day, then back to the clinic for a final appointment. I spent time with very common theme – a mom scared for her kid. Well, my stars, that’s nothing I’ve ever experienced before…<sarcasm>.
The day at work ended with a very meaningful discussion with a collea
gue about relationships. She is newly engaged. I am newly in love. We have both found our people, yet this doesn’t mean it is without adversity or query. My problem is I take past/future trips, which scares me.
So Derek and I talked about it, because I don’t want to self-sabotage this fear, nor let it fester. I hate to freak the poor guy out, but I needed to let him know what I was past/future-tripping about. This is yet another time when transparency pays off, I feel. Not so much when it comes to surprise parties and/or Christmas gifts, but relationship stuff? Abso-frickin-lutely.
Pics: Ummm…Merry Christmas? I thought he was much older…; THIS is what I came home to….
