(Brian) Nothing new here... we wait, and we wait. Everything stays the same, and life moves forward as if nothing were happening. Has anyone read "Waiting for Godot"? Kind of like that.
Cara is finishing her semester, and has been working morning to night for the last 3 days with her final papers and whatnot. I am preparing for a presentation I am doing Thursday afternoon, and developing a feature in my software as if I had 2 weeks to finish it. We go to bed, and wake up like we do every other day.
But there is this concept floating over our heads that is difficult to grasp. At any moment, this drama will begin. It reminds me of when I was a kid, and I was waiting in line at Cedar Point to go on a roller coaster. They never let you see how long the line is. They just herd you from room to room until finally... after 2 hours, you enter the room where the next line of cars awaits your ass. In no more than 2 minutes, you are hurled up and down; all around, and it is over.
This is how I feel. I don't REALLY know what to expect when this starts. I know... I have it easy compared to Cara, but it seems as though this will be really dramatic. I have gone to my classes... I have done my reading, and god knows Cara has. But until it happens, it feels like a dance in gym class... it doesn't feel real.
We made pot roast for dinner last night, and I am eating it for lunch right now. Yummy! Got to get back to work.

What happens is this: you no longer control your own time. Remember me advocating you cycling to work? Not any more! For the next ten years, you'll be driving, because it will be day care, or school pickup/activites, or soccer, or whatever. Enjoy the couple weeks of control which remain to you.
