My husband left just under an hour ago for his second week in Chicago, leaving me all alone in our crappy apartment in Minneapolis. My apartment looks like my old apartment vomited all over it. That is, my stuff is everwhere (in various boxes). It is a cardboard jungle. I don't dare prowl around without lights on for fear of serious injury. I don't know where any of my stuff is.
And I'm a wreck. I finally had to get out of the apartment before I totally lost my mind. I'm across the street using the WiFi in an incredibly expensive coffee house, just becasue I'm less likely yto have an emotional meltdown when I am in public. My eyes and throat need a break from the hysterics. I just don't know when I became so friggin' emotionally dependent, but it sucks. Luckily, my WonderHubby doesn't mind my abnormal clinginess.
it didn't sink in until today that:
1. I actually live in Minneapolis now. I do not live in Iowa and probably never will again.
2. My husband really is leaving me all alone in this totally foreign environment with nobody but two turtles and a zebra finch for company.

I wish we had gotten a dog before he had to leave. I am hundreds of miles away from the nearest members of my support network and I feel very alone.

It sounds rough. Having to move, and deal with all the mess of the move, and be alone-- it is a very sad situation. I hope your husband can at least call you sometimes, and also other people. You'll meet new friends in time, I'm sure, but for right now, sometimes you just have to be sad. I have to be sad sometimes, too.

Remember, I am coming for a weekend visit in October! BTW, I am officially inviting you to the shopping and dining festivities (all or any that works with your schedule). I will let you know which weekend will be The Weekend.
