Oh dear...

Just when we were settling into the new house, Tweeedledum has found out that he needs to go to Egypt......for a WEEK. Thrilled for him!! But what am I going to do in this jungle home of ours, all alone. Suddenly, can see all the other beauties of the place. There's a well with moss and green growth all over. Its a deja vu of a scene out of 'The Ring'. Haven't ventured too close to it and now, for some time, I'm going to stay miles away. Before I start sounding like a weak, spineless mutt, its not that I am scared of being alone. All I can think of is that, with time I have become more and more of a Linus, and Tweedledum is the proverbial security blanket.

I sleep better knowing he is in the house. The times when he's working and doesn't go to bed at the same time as me, it will take me 30 minutes to fall asleep. When he does, it is instantaneous. And when he isn't there I stay awake for hours, listening to the sounds of the night.

Maybe I'll have the first movement perfected by the time he gets back.

Other than the house, even for him, this whole experience is too much of a test for an intern. When you are at work, people see your intelligence, team skills, responsibility levels. Now, its even more, how you interact in public, how well travelled you are and the rest of the superficial gloss. But I have a lot of confidence in him to pull through. Lets wait and watch....
