'Are you there'...?
B left about a half hour ago to go back to Town. Sunday's are so hard. I miss him ever so much when he leaves. He doesn't really live so far away and I see him every weekend, but as soon as he's out the door the silence overwhelms me. It pushes me down and sits on my arms and legs and leaves me helpless and unable to move. I wander around and tidy imaginary messes in an attempt to keep myself busy so the lonliness won't envelope me completely. Another Sunday almost over. Monday starts the week anew. Six days will idly stroll by until he comes again.

Tuesday (Jan. 17th) is our little anniversary again! Seven months. This is most happiness I've known. I'm in a great relationship with someone I adore and who adores me. We get along so well, we have so much in common. He gets along great with my family (and they like him!!). I can't stop smiling. All is well :)

We had a lovely weekend. Shopping and visiting Gus at the hospital (he's doing much better), and going to Jungle Jim's for supper. The rest I'll leave to your lively imaginations! Chris and Lynette brought us some pics from Laurie's wedding. They developped beautifully.

Busy!
Just a quick update about Christmas! This was the absolute best Christmas I've had in several years. It was relaxing and fun and I spent every day with B. Here's the quick rundown!...

Dec. 24: Had Christmas Eve supper at B's house. Came back to my house had snacks and exchanged gifts.

Dec. 25: Chris and Lynette came over and we all opened gifts. Pop (Gus) came for dinner. B came up in the evening and we spent time with A and J playing cards. What a laugh!

Dec. 26-30: We hung out and ate snacks and went shopping and played more cards with A and J! And we played A LOT of the Sims! (yes, I'm addicted again!)...On Dec. 30, Chris and Lynette got ENGAGED!! I'm so excited! B tells me I'm more excited than Lynette!! I don't know about that but I'm really happy for them :)

Dec. 31: B and I went to St. John's and hung out with R, H and F at F's apartment. We had a good view of downtown from his place so we stayed inside and watched the fireworks. We got to bed around 5 or so in the morning. We came out the next day and had turkey with all the trimmings here at my house.

Today I was back to work again. Rory was so excited to see me! I love him to pieces. He showed me all his new stuff that Santa brought him. I got Janice's gift in the mail today too. So cute, I love it! Thanks Jan. I hope you and Corey had a great Christmas. On Saturday B and I are going to Laurie's (Lynette's sister) wedding. Should be a good time. Take care everybody. Be safe.
