Surreal
I have first cousins ranging from 68 years to negative 4 weeks but only one about my age. Mandy and her family moved to Colorado when we were very young and I haven’t seen her very often since. Saturday night/Sunday morning she showed up in one of my dreams. It wasn’t about her but it was still wierd because I haven’t thought about her in months.
Later that morning, I get a call from my dad saying that Mandy’s in town and she’s going to be at my grandparents for the afternoon.
Strange.
I went over to my grandparents and we hung out for a while. It was really strange because we have so little in common now (she mostly reads non-fiction, I avoid it almost at all costs; she smokes like a chimney, I’m allergic to it; she has at least 2 tattoos and an ex-husband, I would never even consider either. Ok, maybe a small tatoo.). Yet we got along really well and never ran out of things to talk about for long.
She doesn’t have an Internet connection (I would die, yes) but she’s getting one soon. I gave her my email address but I don’t think I’ll hear much from her. She’s even busier than I am (works 50 hours/week, school full time, and boyfriend) and, as we all know, I am the world’s worst correspondent.
Maybe I can talk her into starting a blog.
