new normal

Shannon and PJ got back late last Tuesday. PJ ran down the hallway to jump in my arms and I teared up. I had missed them both so much. Sure I enjoyed the laziness, but mostly I could only think about how temporary it was. Daily life has been permanently altered and I like it. I couldn't get past the fakeness of being alone. I like a couple hours after PJ goes to bed. I like having Shannon all to myself then too. I like having time all three of us on the weekends. So although I tried to enjoy the time to myself, mostly I felt awkward and strange like I had forgotten a big task. I think the dogs really liked our time together though.
