Minute by Minute

Whew.  Yesterday I got a little emotional over the whole friend getting engaged thing.  Wow.  I’m not proud of myself when I have these little emotional outbursts, but it’s how I felt at the time, and I can’t help it.  So anyway…

 Yesterday, a recap:

5:01 PM:  leave work, practically run to elevator

5:06 PM:  get in car, turn heat all the way up and mutter to self about the outrageous wind

5:07 PM: drive home

5:37 PM: phone call from B.  He makes me laugh when his reaction to the friend getting engaged is “wtf?”  Plan dinner over phone.

6:04 PM: pull into driveway. Debate getting mail.  Decide against it and run into house immediately.

6:05 PM:  Stare into fridge. 

6:06 PM: Call B to see where he is with our dinner.

6:15 PM: B arrives home.  Kiss him a million times and say “I need a hug.”

6:15 PM – 6:17 PM: Hugs.  Lots of hugs.

6:17 PM:  Tivo!

8:10 PM:  Sit with B on couch and watch “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town.”  Grin like an idiot and dance in my seat.

9:21 PM: Decide against watching Gossip Girl.  Way.Too.Tired.

10:47 PM: Wake up to B sitting up in bed with the lights on.  Ask him what’s wrong.  He answers “I’ve been hearing noises outside for the last 30 minutes.  I’m going outside to check.”

10:49 PM:  Hand B a hammer.  It’s the next best thing to a baseball bat.

10:50 PM: Laugh at B outside saying “who’s there?  WHO IS THERE?”

10:51 PM:  Laugh even harder when he comes inside to explain that it’s just the screen door banging shut.

10:52 PM:  Pass out.

6:06 AM:  Wake up. Curse the world.  Go back to sleep.

6:43 AM:  Kiss B goodbye. 

6:45 AM:  Turn off alarm and get into shower

7:02 AM:  Promise not to be a brat today.  Promise!

 So far it’s been a good day.  It’s cold outside, but that just means that Christmas is coming.  I’m back to being an optimist today.  We can’t all be happy and positive all the time.  Yesterday was hard.  I’m sure there will be other hard days too in the meantime.  I just need to remember what I have. I know this.

Now if I can just get motivated to do some WORK, all will be good.  Seriously, someone needs to consider making the work week only four days!  Can you imagine how much happier people would be?
