Well here I am in same ole New York. Apart from my Beeb, and missing her ever so much. But as the old saying goes, "Absence makes the blahblahblah..."
Yes, while Lauren is off having Canadian adventures singing Disney tunes everyday, here I stay in New York with the usual adventures. Problem is, most of my usual adventures are with my co-captain and doing them without her is tough. One amazing thing about Lauren and I being apart is that we have both been in each others shoes at some point in our relationship. Being that we are both performers we have quite a bit of experience going out of town while the other is at home. We both know that the one touring/doing a show has it a bit easier than the one continuing their nine to fives (or in my case three to eights three days a week), but knowing exactly how Lauren feels and Lauren knowing exactly how I feel helps a lot.
I stay busy with my nannying and will be out performing with The Water Coolers again next week but when you have been living with your best friend for four years the change is instantly apparent. When I left the airport after saying goodbye I went home and an hour later said out loud (to myself), "I'm bored". The lack of phone calls is tough. In fact, I constantly leave work or social events and reach for my phone thinking I have to make a call only to realize
that it's to the one person I can't call...YET!!!
Around sixty percent of the people we told about Lauren leaving for eleven months raised their eyebrows and said, "That's a long time. How are you guys gonna handle that?", and I gotta say that I am proud of the fact that Lauren and I were always shocked by that response. Truth is, from the moment she decided to go on that cruise I have not once had a doubt that we will be just fine. Could be the Glendorian optimist in me, but I am damn proud of my co-captain and see a wonderful future for us at the end of this cruise distance and all!
Thanks for reading. More from New York and Canada soon!
