Day Three

Around 2:30 this afternoon I realized that I hadn't washed my face or brushed my teeth yet today. I usually do those two things as soon as I get up in the morning. Since Arwyn is visiting my sister, as soon as I get up I head straight for the computer to check my e-mail just in case I might have an e-mail from my sister telling me how everything is going and what they have been doing. As I was belatedly washing my face, I had the thought that this is what it will be like when Arwyn is grown up and gone from our home. I will compulsively check my e-mail 50 times a day to see what she is doing and if she is ok. After two years I'm finally used to her being here and now I wonder if you ever get used to them being gone.
