Wanting this badly.
Wanting other things badly, but that will suffice for now.
Nick has often said to me, and I never really believed him, that when things were going well in his personal life that his work sucked and when things were going great at work, his personal life sucked. It appears that this has been the pattern he's noticed all his adult life.
Until I saw it in action, I was skeptical, because it's not like the universe is out to get him, why else would it *always* work like this.
Things are great between us, this thing ... this huge thing in my life that has occurred has brought us closer, the trip to NY awakened me in so many ways ... and it showed me how much I truly miss him and love him. But, when I came back, his work life started to unravel.
My poor guy is going through a very rough patch and I wish I could just wave a magic wand. Instead, I can just be by his side and do the best that I can to make home life easier. That means being suzy homemaker again. Which I do enjoy, even though it cuts into my Warcraft play time.
Last night, to de-stress, we went to a Mariner's game with friends Liz & Joe and it was fun. But the Mariner's lost. I've got pics to post which I need to do soon.
Nick and I celebrate our three year anniversary today ... technically it was Sept 4th that we met, but today was when we saw each other again three years ago. Time flies.
Going to spend it quietly trying to get myself out of this rut that I've been in all month.
Oh yeah and my car died on me, it's in pieces in the garage. Nick's been working on it, but I have to bum a ride home this afternoon. That's going to be expensive. *sigh*
I'm back ... and it's been a tough ride. I'll be back to work tomorrow, it seems like it's been forever since anything was normal. I'm taking this harder than I thought.
Thank you greatly for the sentiment everyone.
My grandfather passed away last night, to say that i'm crushed would be understating things a bit.
Edited: The sting's still there, and I have no idea why. My grandfather suffered a stroke a couple of years ago, and he was not in good shape since then. I think for the last couple of years, I've been mourning, but when it finally happened, it was like a ton of bricks. It should be sad that my grandfather was more like a father to me, he was there during many times when my own parent wasn't. He was also the one that gave me my name. Ten years ago, I was travelling to Guyana to bury my mom's dad, today I'll be travelling to NY to say goodbye to 'grandfado.'
Have you ever noticed that if you're late in the mornings, if you don't pay attention to the clock you're ok, but the minute you do look at the clock, time speeds up??
Yeah, it's been one of those mornings.
I looked into hot air balloon rides and there's a 30 minute sunset thing for $210 per person (!!!!) and that doesn't guarantee that anyone else will not be in the basket ... or for $900 and change, a romantic two person hours long ride. WTF??? IT's A BALLOON!
Instead of that, I was going to get airline tickets for San Diego because I wanted to see the zoo, the airline tickets are only $203 but the hotels are expensive. So, now I'm stuck. There's always Festa Italiana happening in Seattle that weekend, which I found out about today and which seems like fun.
There are children EVERYWHERE! Which is a good thing, because it will make me rich one day as a pediatrician.
In other news, the visit went really well. Aside from a minor snafu on a hike on Saturday ... everyone had fun. I didn't take much pictures because Nick had taken the memory card out of the camera. Luckily, he told me with enough time to go buy another one, but we didn't get to use the camera much.
Our 3 year anniversary is on Sept. 21st... Even though we technically met on Sept 4th, we celebrate the 21st because that's the night that we saw each other again after talking for two weeks on the phone. I want to take a ballon ride on that day, but since it's a Thursday, Nick can't get off work, so we'll probably end up doing something on the weekend.
