I Need More Distractions August 29, 2005

I hate that Katrina is wreaking havoc across the South, but I have to say that staying glued to the TV to watch what she was up to this weekend was a great distraction from the whole ultrasound thing.

We ended up on the very west edge of the storm. It’s been pretty windy and fairly rainy here today, but it’s really not been that bad. My heart goes out to all of the people to the east of us who are getting hit badly right now.

We haven’t lost power yet (knock on wood) so I’m assuming my appointment is still on for tomorrow morning, and I am freaking out big time. My heart is beating quickly, and I’m filled with nervous energy.

I really think we’re going to go in there tomorrow and find out that it’s all over, and that terrifies me beyond belief. I would love to be wrong. Oh, how I would love to be wrong, but I’m scared that I won’t be. I don’t want this to be over. I don’t want to be crushed yet again.

It really felt like tomorrow morning would never come. I mean, time has been ticking by so fucking slowly. Now it’s almost here, though, and I don’t know if I’m ready. I guess you can’t really ever be ready for something like that.

I can see my life going in one of two different directions. It’s like I’m standing in the fork of the road right now waiting for fate to tell me which way to go. I obviously don’t know what lies way down either path, but I sure know which one I’d rather be heading for come tomorrow.

There’s nothing that can prepare you for something so momentous is there? I sincerely hope your feelings are wrong and the news is monumentally awesome. Good luck, be strong and know that you have women online who really care about you.
