Missing You Already

I just left this morning and it already seems like I have been gone for days. It was so nice being home with you for the past 11 days. I really wish there was a way for me to be home all the time, but no matter how I try I can't seem to find a solution to the current work situation.

It is really nice having us both in that tiny little office/closet together. While it is cramped, being close to you is always my goal. You should know that after sharing a bed with me for the past 2 decades. I can even get some work done with us in ther together, despite all of my attempts to kiss you and the like.

It was also nice having numerous mornings where we went to "get coffee" together. I know we need a new name for that since you don't drink coffee, but the event itself is always nice. I especially like it when we take time to just sit and talk at Starbucks. Getting up every day and having us both head out to Starbucks is a great way to start the day.

I even got used to not showering until 5 in the afternoon. Spending the whole day in my pajama (pa-jah-mah) pants or my grubby shorts just isn't that bad. The hat hair kind of is annoying (mine not yours), but over the 11 days I finally got used to having hat hair. I am sure my Russian dry cleaner is already wondering what happened to our account.

Having lunch the few times we did it was also great. I even liked when we simply hated leftovers together. Heading to City Market (so we can taunt the girls later) is always wonderful and we even got a North Shore Bistro trip in there. Nothing compares to the 2 days of leftover lasagne (I think it was your best ever). I am also pretty sure you really enjoyed your leftover chicken and sausage.

Finally, thank you for such a wonderful birthday. I was completely overwhelmed. It could not have been a better day.

I had a different topic to write about (it refers to the "sobbing" event on Saturday), but I figured it was part of the super secret graduation gifts and I didn't want to tip the older child off in th event she read this. So I will hit that one up at a later time.

It is really late and despite my 2 hours of sleep on the plane, I am tired.

I miss you so much already. This week is going to be hard to manage even if it is short.

I love you.
