I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

I was driving home tonight and head my phone ding.

A text message.

I am tempted to look but I wait till I get to Portland.

I am at a light waiting for it to turn green and I peek.

It’s from Adam.

It says:

Ok babe. I’m going to sleep. I miss you.

And it makes me sad.

Sad that I didn’t make it home before he turned off the light.

Sad that I probably won’t see him awake until Monday night.

Sad that I probably won’t get a hug till Tuesday.

We have chosen the lives we have.

We both like our jobs.

And we know we are lucky to have found these paths.

But there are times when I wonder why?

Can I just be the greeter at Walmart and work a few hours a week?

We love each other.

And it makes putting in these summer hours tolerable.

But I could have used a hug tonight.

For no other reason than to hug my boyfriend!
