Em is staying with my dad during construction. Sleeping without her is remarkably hard. I forget sometimes, amidst her irritating 'I'm tired can we go to bed now?' whining, how strange it is to have to fall asleep without her here.
The animals all serve distinctive purposes. The fish keep me calm. The cats kill all the bugs. The dog makes me feel safe. This is intentional, and my life feels strangely off-kilter without her here. Maybe this is why I never get any sleep in hotels, I'm not sure. But I do know that I'm definitely wide awake tonight.
With any luck, morning will come quickly.
