with only two weeks until REUNION PARTY TIME, I have become expert at keeping myself busy, getting ready fast, aggressive LA driving, taking care of dogs, and oh yeah, being totally awesome as a 6:30am earthquake un-phased me this morning! (My response: Oh cool! I'm basically Chuck Norris)
But the last few days, I have been gru-um-py!
Saturday night was the brink the the grump monster.
Poor Old Aunt Flow, unwelcomingly came back for another visit to lonely Melissa.
So you know I don't like being alone, but now I am alone, grumpy, starving all the time and none of my clothes fit….so i'm basically a total mess.
I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing that all i did in my free time last week was watch all 8 blurays of Harry Potter…
ok, i did a few other things. But getting serious here, there are ups and downs in everyone's life. Sometimes really exciting things are happening and other times you're just plugging along.
Right now is me, plugging along, and boy, does it feel long.
The minutes at work go by slowly. I'm counting the days until Ivan comes home. I'm always tired. I keep getting paper cuts at work. Days are filled with things to do and the weeks keep plugging along.
I'm glad though. I'm glad because in 3 more weeks, we'll be together and flying to Singapore and starting a really amazing adventure and the contrast of that excitement compared to these "plug along" weeks, will make the reward so much sweeter!
