Nervous

[fabrisse]

I just posted somewhere else that I love that I am brave. I think I am on a fairly basic level. I'm the kid who wouldn't let her Mom walk her to school on the first day of kindergarten.

Tomorrow I start a new kindergarten. (Yes, I have worked in government offices before.) I've planned out what I'm going to wear, how to get there, how long to allow myself for yoga, shower and breakfast -- the basics. I've even left that extra ten minutes for makeup because this is the South, and I want to conform to the culture until I know it's safe not to.

But I'm nervous. I'm not a morning person, and I have to be somewhere at 8 a.m. I've walked the route before though, so I'm comfortable with that, other than the whole I am NOT a morning person.

This is my first time going to work in nearly nine months. I still have no idea of the parameters of the job description.

Most of the time, I'm enjoying living alone. But days like today, I miss having housemates to distract me.

I'd really love to have someone to hold me through tonight and tell me to play nice with the other kids tomorrow morning.

But I'm brave -- brave enough to walk to work through a Washington summer. *G*

I was going to ping you later today to wish you luck w/ your first day, but in light of your worries, would it help if I offered to call in the morning and make sure you are up? (Not sure if the phone would wake you if the alarm didn't, but it's the closest I can manage from here ti banging on your door and telling you the tea's ready.)

Good luck tomorrow, sweetie!

That's really sweet. What time will you be up?

Thank you.

I probably won't properly be up until 7, but I'm usually awake as soon as it gets light, so I could pretty call you whenever, and just go back to bed after- not really a big deal. So name me a time.

But I'll need you to resend me your phone number- I just switched phones over the weekend (my number is the same, just broke the LCD on the old phone), and haven't yet transferred any contact info. I'm at the SO's, so I don't have any way to look the number from here.

Good luck from me too. Or, as I say to moria923, TEAR 'EM UP AND BITE 'EM. Not quite sure why I like using that line, except it connotes conquest.

That it does. *G*

Thank you.

Knock 'em dead. But not too dead to sign your timecard. :D

You always remember the important things. *G*

You're very brave and I feel privileged to know you. I hope all went well on Monday for your new job and I'm sending you many hugs. I can relate to the feeling of being ok about being alone most of the time (and by alone I mean with no adult partner or company) but now and then wanting to be held. I feel like that sometimes too.

Hang in there sweetie, it'll all be fine xx
