I admit that real relationships can and do exist. People stay together in peace with each other as a couple for decades. They grow closer and further apart, they love each other calmly and passionately, and they change together without railing against each other. They uplift each other, they don't restrain each other. I've never been part of anything like that. I hope I will be someday.
Tonight I have another simple country evening. I pick my munchkin up from the sitter, we grab a quick dinner and then go straight to her school open house. When we get back to the house, she'll have an hour for homework, and then bed. I will be up all hours of the night working on the program for the show that opens in Bath tomorrow. But I'm not stressed about it. Programs are easy to do. I'm sure it will be okay. I'll tumble into bed and then it will be Friday!
I love the newfound simplicity of my life. I suppose one of these days I will have to wake up and rejoin the real world, though.
