Is it just me..?
January 10, 2009
So, things are close to being back to normal. Meaning that Mare’s back in town, classes start Monday (ah!) and work is no longer full-time, but instead just something that I do for a few hours a day. I’m looking forward to the arrival of my routine again.
Tonight, we’re supposed to be traveling to go see a concert. This, however, has been interrupted by mother nature, who thought it best to drop some snow on us overnight. While it had been predicted to be the biggest snowfall in 3 years, we have just a slight dusting with the possiblity of a bit more later today. Most people would say, “well, what’s stopping you then?” A woman who lives about 100 miles away, that’s who. I love my mother to death–we have one of those relationships where we really are best friends; it’s not just something I tell people–but she’s too worrisome. Okay, I know that’s a mother’s role, but still, I feel as though her worry just translates into a migrane for me. I feel as though I should be able to make my decisions for myself–I’m 20 years old and living on my own–without her trying to influence. I know she’s my mother, she wants to protect me, but at this stage in the game, I need support, not criticism.
Maybe it’s just me, but for once, I think I’m right.
