Finally...

Well after a four day farewell tour of tweets, Facebook posts and emails (I've had my vacation auto responder on for two days). We're heading out!

Saturday I had enough. I wailed like the mother in morning that I am for hours. Didn't know how I'd possibly go on. I woke Ben from a deep slumber and told him we had to leave NOW. I couldn't take it on more moment.

He decided, being responsible and level headed, to do some "routine" and "quick" car maintenance before we left.

He got stuck in Indianapolis after tearing the car apart and realizing he needed different tools and parts or do dads or what nots or something. I'm not so much for cars. All I know is I was here without him for over 24 hours alone and almost went crazy. I slept much, cried much, and ate little. But, he's back and promises to get me out of here tomorrow (or later today it's early morning now).

I know skipping town won't make everything better. I know I'll think of her constantly. I know nothing will change when I come back.

But I need sun. I need no phones. I need to curl up with my husband. And, besides crying on a pretty beach sounds so much more appealing than crying stuck inside avoiding Northern Indiana weathers.

Not only is it snow, but it's dirty ugly snow, and it's been here weeks now!

 I'll think of Cora here and there, and take her everywhere.

 Gray skies and barren trees. Makes for a sad me.
