So, on my way to work today- FOUR cops. Where were they yesterday when I needed them?? John is sick today :( I had a pretty uncomfortable stomach problem, a little bit on Sunday, mostly on Monday- it felt just random enough to be some sort of bug, and now I think I’ve passed it on to the man that I love. We’ve got to stop that!
So, last night, the salad went over just fine. I saw some people eating it, and then I purposefully didn’t even look at it as I was leaving so that I didn’t have to know how good it ended up being. The party was nice, and I did get to know a couple of new people. Mostly, though, I talked love and marriage with the girl who lives upstairs. I think it bores people pretty quickly to hear me drone on and on about how I’m nervous about this, excited about that, can’t wait to go to Maine blah blah blah, but get two recently married/engaged girls together, and they can talk the subject to death without offending anyone. Tonight I’m off to pick up my dress (hopefully, as along as it’s all set and ready to go, and fits well) and go out to dinner with Megan and Alicia. We’ll finish planning the shower, and just have a little girl time. It’s funny, I was explaining to Alicia on Saturday that at first when we’d go out, I’d think about John the whole time and really just want to go home. Even if we ended up doing absolutely NOTHING, I just wanted to be near him. Now, I feel like that compulsion has calmed down a bit. Will I miss being around him tonight? Yes, but I can still go out and spend some time with friends. Plus (and this is actually important) it gives him time to write. We’ve both expressed concern that by being together every second of every day (except for when we’re at work, of course) we limit his time and ability to concentrate on his writing. If he wants to be a writer, he needs to write. He’s got a new “secret” project going on right now. He seems to be making pretty good progress, and that’s kind of exciting. That is that. So, I need to find ways to distract myself. It’s good. Progression.
So yeah, that’s the morning-time update. Perhaps, more later.
