On a slightly heavy note…

I haven’t been writing because I’ve been overwhelmed with school and work.

16 hours at college, not including homework and studying.

30 hours at work and getting home around midnight.

I’m tired.

I’m hungry.

I’ve lost weight and I bleed coffee.

Sunday is my birthday, so I drove home today. I’m staying for the weekend.

My mom and I had a nice talk and I helped her make supper.

When my dad came home, he gave me a huge hug. Then it hit me that I hadn’t hugged anyone (really hugged, not a crappy side-hug) since the last time I saw him a little over a month ago.

And that’s just too long to go without contact like that. That’s ridiculous. That’s insane.

I cried. I cried like I was four years old again and he understood.

He held on.
