Summer Blues

Tomorrow I will stand outside and wave as the car pulls out of the driveway. My mother has to go to a college campus that is rather far way. She will be back in a little over a week, but already we miss her. Dad has been rather clingy and my sister and I keep trying to follow Mom around the house. We will miss her very much, so will the cats. Schuster (our 12 or 13 orange and white male) normally sleeps with Mom at night in the basement bedroom. If she is not there he yowls and calls for her all night till his little throat is sore. Mom said I could sleep down there and try to keep him from missing "his woman" so much. I don't know if it will work, but it is worth a shot.

I am still blocked on my writing. The only thing I can write is a paper over the movie Labyrinth (the one with David Bowie). I have been meaning to write it for quite some time, but never got around to it. Still, I wish I could work on my book...

So here I sit at my desk, typing away while my sister sleeps in the bedroom next door. After this I shall do chores, read a book, and do whatever else comes to mind. We shall miss you Mom.
