All the words

I have run out of words.

I had company this weekend. My mama came to visit, to see the new flat and to explore Lake Town with me. We had such a nice time together: saw beautiful things; discovered charming places; ate yummy food; and talked.

We talked a lot.

For someone who is accustomed to solitude and silence, a four minute phone conversation is more talking than I'm used to - outside of work. Four days of chatting and listening was exponentially more than I'm used to. I borrowed words from next week, and probably even used up someone else's words as well. Someone, somewhere, right in the middle of a conversation just suddenly stopped talking... lips flapping like a fish out of water, hands clutching throat, puzzled look in their eyes, confused as to why there is no sound, no words. If that happened, it's because I used them all. If that happened to you, I'm ever so sorry.

I would apologize, but I just don't have the words.
