Living and loving life as best as I know how and as healthy as I can be.

Well, the two days that Drew was here came and went. It always happens like that, though. Doesn’t it? We had a wonderful time, as always. He got in real late on Wednesday evening so we spent the night cuddling and soon after fell asleep. Thursday we woke around 10am. I made us breakfast, we had some coffee and then we headed to the stores. It was a beautiful day so we walked. We visited the card store, went to Rite Aid for a few things and then got frozen yogurt from Red Mango. I got pomegranate flavor with blackberries and dark chocolate pieces. Yum! We walked home, got some stuff together and went to the movies to see Zombieland. Eh. It was okay. Everyone said it was fantastic. Oh well. We headed home and then met up with Ashley, Katie and Shannon at Applebees for 2fers and half priced appetizers. Yeah, needless to say that wasn’t such a great diet day. Had about four beers, chicken wings and a little bit of everyone else’s because we were all sharing.

Yesterday was really great, actually. He woke up first, got coffee and because I heard him getting up I got up too. We had picked up Scrabble the day before so we spent the morning drinking coffee, eating breakfast that I had made and playing Scrabble. Perfect. We made a quick trip to the mall to check out some of their other games, filled up my gas tank, came home and played another game. Mom and Dad got home from the vets early and made a big dinner of mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, green beans, rolls and pot roast. Mmmm! Delicious. Drew is so adorable. Everytime he is here my mother makes a big production of it. He alwyas says they don’t have to go to the extreme when he is here but that decision is out of my mind. That’s all my mothers doing. We settled down on the couch with my family, watched a horrible movie and ate dinner. Lovely. =) But.. as always, there is never enough time for us to be together to satisfy me. Soon enough it was off to the train station. I didn’t take into account that it was Friday at rush hour so I was nervous we would be late. It was all fine though. I still had my time to say goodbye to him.

Coming home after dropping him off at the station is probably one of the worst feelings in the world. It’s so lonely. It’s trully indescribable. I fell asleep, curled up last night thinking about him holding me from behind. Sigh. I miss him. Six more sleeps and I’ll be with him again.

Today I have work from 12pm - 7pm. Not bad. It should go decently fast. I think I’m working with Linda and Indranie today so that’s okay. With any luck Indranie will take off early. I don’t care if I have to take my lunch an hour after I come in. I just don’t want her to be there the entire time. Heh. I’m going to do my best to just stay out on the floor all day long. I don’t want to deal with anyone. I’m sure it’s going to be a very quiet day. We’re supposed to get A LOT of rain so… yeah. Whatever. Work is work. Tonight my family and I may play poker. I bought a puzzle yesterday at the store so I think I’ll get a big piece of cardboard from work today and then use that to put the puzzle together =) I’m excited about that. I haven’t done a puzzle in a LONG time.

Anyway, I should get going. I need a refill on my coffee and I should figure out what I’m going to have for breakfast. Enjoy the day, all.
