The Journal of Alison McKenzie OMGosh, I'm pathetic!!!
08/12/2008 10:34 p.m.
So, I go to put my 18 year old daughter, Kate, on the bus...and I'm a nervous wreck. She'll be the ward of Greyhound for a total of 4.5 hours. I should be fine. She'll be fine!!! But then, I learn that she has to change buses in Portland, and wait for another 40 minutes to board her other bus. Have you ever BEEN to the Portland bus depot? OMG. I have. Crusty old men, homeless folks, predators looking for their next victim. And Kate is a little cutie! I'm not just saying that. She's about as cute as cute can be. She's no stranger to being out in the world, but she's not as bad-ass as she thinks she is either.
And I'm just shocked at myself for being such a wreck. I know she'll fine. Of course she'll be fine. I bought her mace before she left, and she has her cell phone, and the bus driver reassured me too. She'll be fine. Of course she'll be fine.
Tomorrow's entry will make me look ridiculous right now. I just know it.
*taking a deep breath*
I am currently Anxious
I am listening to my reasonable brain reassuring my nervous heart

AAACK... from Charleston, West Virginia to Virginia Beach, Virginia. Had to wait around FOREVER between buses. Stopped at every podunk hole in the road between start and stop. She WILL be fine. |
