Monday’s are tough, I am reminded that people go back to work and kids go back to school but I am also reminded that my life is on hold. There is no job for me to get back to and there are no kids for me to take to school. My days are filled with loneliness and silence, lots of silence. For the most part it is only grandma, grandpa and I who are home all day. I have an ogre aunt who lives here but she heads off to work 6 am - 4 pm and when she gets home, she is too busy hating life and her own parents to talk to anyone. So for the most part, when she is home she moves through out the house like a ghost. When he’s not gone, off to find the next breakthrough in the world of chronology Grandpa locks himself in his study to read all day. Grandma and I gather for meals and “novelas” and laugh about days passed. I must get used to my new life and the silence that comes with it. Gone are the days when my days were filled with screaming girls finding a place to hide as they were playing, gone are the days filled with work and chores, gone are the days of joining my girlfriends for drinks and having dinner at Chanchos house. I must accept my fate and my new life.
