Ok, I know it's irrational and crazy. I know I'm a big girl now and I can handle it. I know I've lived by myself before. But really, for some inexplicable reason, the fact that Cat is going away for a whole month very soon and I'm going to be all by myself is making me antsy/anxious/crazy/sad.
Who am I going to talk to every day?? What am I going to do with myself? Who's going to reprimand me for falling asleep on the couch again with the lights all ablaze, or take the early shift in our work-sleep alternating schedule? Who will I talk to about random articles in the milions of periodicals we subscribe to or bounce ideas off of for my papers and projects?
I mean, I think I'm actually quite an independent person, but I feel like in the past few months, I've gotten more attached to having a roommate than I have in a long time. We certainly don't do everything together, but it's nice to come home and just hang out and vent or shoot the shit over a bottle of wine or a cup of tea. I think especially now that I spend so much time at home, I really do look forward to when Cat comes back from work and we seem to spend a lot more time together on the weekends than we did last year. Last week, when she went to DC for a couple days, I had to consciously remind myself that she wasn't coming home so I wouldn't expect her.
I know, crazy. But I'm not co-dependent. Really. I just like being in the company of good friends.

Oh sad GG!! Now I feel extra mean for making fun of you yesterday.
Don't worry, now that we're avid bloggers, we can keep each other updated about fun things that we do in November. And no fair that you get to hang out with Chicago ppl. You'll prob have visitors every couple of days and wild parties when you're home alone =)
Hey Christine,
Yea Cat is very missable. But think of all the stories she will have for you when she gets back and all the pictures she will have for you. Plus, you can always call us other girls meanwhile to talk whenever. =D
See you later.
