A Day Late

Hi, Amanda.

What a treat to read from you this morning! I must say I logged on when my coffee was ready, but I was running late (I was hoping for a delay), and I saw all the paragraphs and knew I didn't have the time to read it with the attention it deserved...so I saved it for school. lolol I read while my kids were working on a study guide. Classic. Anyway, thanks again. The JJ BFF-nonGF story is awesome. I smiled the whole way through it.

I ended up taking the rest of the day off yesterday. After my "take-down" and our conversation I pretty much petered out and did a whole lot of nothing, other than half-starting projects before getting distracted by creating new projects whose worth is questionable. Alternately, I read, watched TV and flipped through cookbooks. I went to bed around 10.

I'm home from school already after a quick stop for some cheap cab (I understand your debate about cheap wine vs. good wine, by the way...I always think I should permanently upgrade, but it's not in my budget. When I'm down to my last 20 bucks, I always remember that there are decent tasting cheap wines that I can live with.) I haven't called W yet, because I need a little time to myself first. Once he knows I'm home, he could call every 5 minutes, and I'm not in the mood yet. I'm not sure I will ever get in the mood for that tonight...

I'm going to make a meat sauce tonight (a pretty basic FN recipe from their cookbook) for dinner. Other than enjoy a nice meal, I want to read, and maybe write what I started yesterday and didn't finish. Just my luck he'll call at all the wrong times--as I'm cooking my sauce or pasta, or sitting down to my delightful dinner, or just as I settle in with my book. I guess those are the dangers of a long distance relationship. Most of it happens on the phone, and timing the calls isn't always perfect. I suppose I should look on the bright side, though, right? At least he wants to talk to me. And I can always be clearer about my plans and when it would be okay to talk, when it would be a disruption. Little fish, I know.

I hope everything is okay for you out there on the top of the hill. I wonder how everyone is faring and do hope it isn't as bad as they thought it would be. Be safe.

Love,
Barb
