Potatoes and pots

She watched him do the dishes, Her heart was breaking and she wished she was the one doing the dishes.

"Do you think the potatoes are done darling?" he asked.

"Let me see" she said. "Prick them with a fork and see"

"Ah, they're done" he said, drained the potatoes and turned to the sink to wash the pot.

It was heart breaking for her to watch him do the dishes, alone in his apartment, through a video call, over the internet.

He was continents and continents away.

And she wished she was the one doing the dishes.

Greener pastures

This is why I've been under the radar lately.

Darling has left the country for greener pastures. While I know that he'll be back, and he will probably be back before I know it, I can't help feeling so desolate and empty..

I'm back with my parents.. Dad has taken it to his heart to fatten me up.. :)

I was supposed to go with him too, at some later point. But for reasons best explained later, I couldn't go with him..

So here I am, feeling sorry for myself..

Anyway, I thought I'd regale you with my misery..
