It's raining, and that means I'm indoors tonight. I've broken down and watched Cosmic Disclosure without spaceman, and he's not online yet. And so I realized that for the first time in seriously too long, I have alone time.
*warning, a kid hovers close to my bedroom door. beware of teenagers who, for some reason, really like annoying their mom.*
Disclaimers aside, it's nice to have the culmination of all things needed to write. I REALLY miss it. Work has been KILLER lately, and work is sometimes when I sneak 20 minutes of splurge writing, even if it never lands here. There's been none of that lately. I've also found myself in this mode... this mode where if I miss even an hour of sleep at night, I don't have the reserves to absorb it. That is ENTIRELY my own doing. I cannot pull myself away from spaceman hahaha. We talk on the phone until 12:30-1 am every night, EVERY night. It's NEVER boring, by FAR.
Okay, enough with the caps... (but seriously, mmhmm <3)
I'm in full prep mode, can't you tell? I'm relaxing and writing. haha But seriously, I should be doing some laundry so I can pack tomorrow night after work, because Friday after work, I'm hitting the road to Virginia again, to see him, again. :)
*kid alert!!!*
19-yo kid alert: "Mom, I put your laundry in the drier. I might be going to bed soon."
me: "Okay, thanks. You go sooner, I'll go later. Gnight!"
and he's gone! (whew)
Have to try to avoid the conversations that usually follow! Why you ask? BECAUSE THEY NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE lol I laugh, and I joke, but it's kinda true. If you're a parent, you probably get it, intimately.
Why? Because it's writing time!!
Friday, yes... Friday I'm hitting the road and driving 6 hours to Virginia to spend his birthday weekend with him. Psst, don't tell him... I don't have a gift. I've been too back-to-back busy to contemplate this all important gift thing. Maybe the trip will count, I thought??? And then he told me he's paying for my trip, for me not to worry. mmm hmm, now what?
I'll think of something (or not :( )
aaaaaannnnnd my time has come to a close. spaceman is online. :D
I know we're married old bums but I got Erik a really nice bathrobe and slippers this year. He was so happy. You can personalize it somehow get a space themed bathrobe and slippers to match. Speaking of this site comes to mind: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/slippers-robes-pajamas/ Happy trails dear!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhen we first got together, J and I made a pact of no gifts... we didn't want the stress of "having" to buy something just "because" it's a birthday or Christmas. Gifts that are random/spontaneous because we happened to see something the person would really love, are ok, though :) For birthdays and Christmas we plan a "date day" instead... for my birthday that just passed, she took me to another town to do one of those "Escape Room" games together - really fun, and then we went hiking in a beautiful cave/gorge-like area, and went out for dinner afterwards.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're so happy :) And that you get to go and see him again!! :)
