Ode to Wyatt

Wyatt has been gone for three days. Three long days. That's three days that I have had to feed and water the dogs and cats which is his job but I always end up doing anyway so the only difference is there's no one to yell at for having to do it myself. There is no one else going to the kitchen so I can't say "while you're up" to anyone, I have to get everything myself. I have to check out all the weird smells and noises myself, switch the laundry myself, watch whatever I want to watch on Netflix myself so there's no one else to blame for a crappy viewing choice, I have to talk to myself or the dogs which means everyone agrees with everything I say which in turn can lead to an extremely inflated sense of self, but worst of all is there's no one to make fun of or laugh with. I really miss him and it's giving me a glimpse into my future when he turns fortyish and decides to leave home or move into the attic and I will of course be too fat and immobile to make it up all those stairs thirty years from now so I'll have to bang on the ceiling with sticks and ring bells and text him to come down which I know good and well he won't.

Oh my gawd, what am I going to do...

Remember that movie Misery with Kathy Bates?

Did you watch American Horror Story Coven with Kathy Bates? She was awesome, and I loved that Stevie Nicks was in it too. That really was a PERFECT part for her. So scary. Yeah, Wyatt and I watched that together. Maybe he'll come home tomorrow. I know he's having so much fun with his friends (that aren't me, even though I am SUPER fun) and has been going downtown and doing all kinds of super fun sixteen year old stuff even though I used to be sixteen and knew all the super fun cool things to do and places to go but not really because I was married and had Wendy on my sixteenth birthday, but I am SO fun now, I can't imagine why he would want to leave home for threelonnnnngdays! Whatever. His loss, there will be tons of crocheting and documentary watching and water bowl filling, food dish washing fun going on here without him. W That my friends is a big W for winning because hear me when I say this, in the over seventy crowd they hate me cuz they aint me!

I aint missing you at all Wyatt!
