Comfortably Numb in General

I have so much to write about. But I feel like I have some kind of writers block going on. So if I just keep typing maybe something will break loose.

Friday I was running through my newsfeed on FB. FB has this feature of “People You Might Know.”

She looked familiar. And within seconds I recognized her. name. Audrey’s given name. I made the mistake of clicking.

She is no longer with her husband. Now lives in my town, Has a new boyfriend.

I would be lying if I said that didn’t sting.

In the grand scheme of things, it makes sense. Not many people can hold on forever. I am in that unfortunate group that can.

I didn’t think I was going to be able to sleep, but I slept fine.

By the morning I was completely at peace. Well, at least as at peace as you can be with that little barb stuck in your heart.

Friday night I went out for Chinese with the boys. Saturday I went to Applebee’s because I didn’t want to cook my own steak. I think me and Applebee’s are splitsville.

This morning, after clearing snow I made my way to the Railway Cafe in ‘Salem’s Lot.

Still trying to get on the flight schedule. I am wasting money every day I am not flying. The weather has settled down a bit and should be decent for most of the week.

I am in the “pretend it is already true” mode. It has always worked for me. Every phase of my life.

I spent the afternoon cooking. Tomorrow is chest day at the gym.

And away we go.

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb
