Gerry is away in Utah visiting family and enjoying a western ski adventure. Today I am actually shoveling snow. A friend is coming for lunch tomorrow and I want at least a pathway clear for walking to one of the doors.
Thankfully, I have something happening every day he will be away. Even though we love each other mightily and are best friends, we each need some human interaction besides one another. Between my previous Interim experience and my current one, that became abundantly clear to me. Now I don't have to wonder where that is going to come from. It comes with the territory of church work. Tonight there is both a dinner and a talent show. Ought to be a fun evening. I'm going shopping and visiting on Saturday. Sunday is full of services from early morning through mid-afternoon. I'll be doing the service at the retirement home. And it is the same next week, and before you know it, he'll be back home again.
Meanwhile, I'll put out the trash to be picked up. I'll sleep right in the middle of the bed, hogging all the pillows and covers. I'll park in the middle of the garage. Then, I will happily sleep and park only on my own side, glad to share again!
It is certainly a very good thing to have a partner for the journey.
