Jill is trying to decide whether to stay in DC and complete her class, or leave early and move down here.

I have no idea what to tell her.

On the one hand, it absolutely sucks having her there while I’m here. I miss her terribly. It’s HARD. (You have to imagine that being said in a really petulant, nasal whine. It’s Haaaaaaard!)

And I act like a big flake when I’m alone. I stay up too late, I eat badly, I oversleep, I don’t clean up after myself, and I generally act like a child who has gotten away from all of the grownups and can eat dessert first, play, and do whatever she wants all day.

When Jill is with me, I remember that I’m a grown up, and although I still sometimes stay up late and read, or eat dessert first, most of the time, I’m responsible. I cook dinner. I pick stuff up. I do the laundry.

On the other hand, this Shakespeare class is a great opportunity. Jill’s made a good impression so far at the Studio, and disrupting that seems like a bad idea. Plus she is growing and developing as an actor, and gaining experience and skill in her day job.

And we’re less than 8 weeks from her move already.

The bottom line for me is this: We disrupted our lives completely to move here for my new job. Given that, I want to make the transition as easy as possible for Jill.

What we don’t know, really, is which answer that is.
