My partner asked me this morning if I still live in our home.
“Part time” was my answer.
Last night my energy law class got out at 9:20. I am usually home by 10:00, unless I stay after to ask questions. Last night was one of those nights. I needed a bit of clarification on a few points for a paper I am working on for another class. It was 10:00 before I even walked out of the classroom. I am glad I stayed, and the prof. rocks for sticking around so long. Still, It was about 10:40 when I got home. Partner was already asleep, having been up since very early with Cranky Girl With Cold. We did not even get to say “hi” to each other in person all day long.
Yesterday I was called by someone wanting to do blood tests and such because I am increasing my life insurance through work.
“I can come to your home.”
*hysterical laughter on my part* “I’m never there.”
