alone

[miss_swamp]

James left this morning for a 3-day business trip to California. This is gonna be weird. Normally I'm the one running off to visit my brother, or help cook at camp, or supervise a dang 5th-grade sleepover, while he stays home. And I don't even do much of that. It's not that we can't spend time apart; a fall Saturday afternoon is as likely to find him off watching the Aggies and me out for tea as it is to find the two of us together. But, y'know, we got married 'cause we like each other (and love each other, of course, but you gotta have both), and we don't seem to get sick of spending time together. Even dumb errands like going to the hardware store are fun together.

And now I'm alone here until Wednesday. I won't have tons of time to enjoy it, as late as I've been working lately. But when I'm done, I'll pick up some nice spicy mushroomy Vietnamese take-out, wrap myself in blankets and cats in lieu of husband cuddles, and wield, just once, the awesome power of the remote.

By Wednesday, I'll probably miss ignoring the World Series of Poker. Don't tell!

I get pouty when T leaves town. I have trouble sleeping.

Yeah, I never sleep that great when he's gone either. What's weird is, I sleep fine if I know he's coming back late--like at Rocky or something--but if I know there's no point in leaving the light on, then the lights and sounds start playing tricks on me.

Yeah, I don't sleep well when M is on a business trip, either.

We should send you and James out to the hardware store for Ben and me. We turn into the couple from those IKEA commercials, only a lot less cute.

Thanks for the use of your laptop, dahling. Free wireless in the hotel means my window to the world is intact and I won't go stir crazy.

Now you can browse my porn and I can browse yours.

'cept all I have is cooking websites, and you mostly have music.

Yeah, I looked around a bit, but didn't see anything.

Sorry to be so dang boring.
