it's back to work. was rushing to meet a deadline but thankfully didn't take as long as anticipated. i hate last nights. it's always so anti-climatic. like everything i'd been looking for was over, just like that. having spent a good 2+ years of our 4.5 together apart, you get used to the separation. it's feast/famine, really. i don't see him for weeks, and then suddenly i've him all to myself for a few days. if nothing else, it's taught me to be present, to be 100% there mentally when we're finally at the same place at the same time. and i appreciate every moment. there's no taking him for granted because time with him is paramount and everything else takes a back seat. it's not as if when we're apart life is all that unbearable. far from! was recruited for a random study a few weeks ago and one of the questions was "on a scale of 0-100, how happy are you?" my 95 surprised even myself, and i realised that he nudges that 95 to 100.
getting back into the swing of things after that untimely self-declared holiday. unsurprisingly, also in need of a good detox, having eaten waayyy too much for my own good and downing a bottle of wine with every meal. while i'm mega grateful to have been spared the usual squalor of student living, i'm starting to feel the effects of the binge. easily ate what i usually do in a day just for breakfast. and carbo-loaded at lunch and dinner. we had bottles of bubbly and red every night and my liver needs a break.
thank God i'll see him in exactly a month over easter break, and he relocates for good in april. can't wait to kiss long distance goodbye.
in the spirit of eating, drinking and making merry, will post daily about how we spent his flying visit. do check back if you'd like to see :)
