Day 33

I think I have a better understanding of dogs. I used get so annoyed when a grown dog would get so excited when they saw somebody that they peed. But now I get it. I leave in two weeks to PA and see Aaron for four whole days and I am so excite I feel like I could pee my pants. If I had a tail to wag I would be doing that non-stop too – but since I don’t , I am content fidgeting and wiggling all the time (I really like bouncing in my office chair – it’s got nice spring action)

The last few days I have been missing Aaron lots. I haven’t had any particularly bad days or felt really lonely or anything like that. I just really really miss him. I’ve been doing better at getting into a routine. I ride the bus to and from work. After work I have a little snack and change into my running clothes, take Bagley for a run, dinner, then I sit around and watch tv and get really bored. So I still need to have a little more structure in my evenings.

I’m developing a list of things to do to keep me busier. So far I have :
Train for and run a 5K
Buy a bottle of wine a week (planning a wine and cheese party for when Aaron get’s home)
Paint our bed room
Volunteer more (currently I do database/computer work for the Duluth Community Garden for a couple hours a week – I want to find another organization that could benefit from my skills and time and not from my meager pocket book)

It’s not on my list to do, but I daydream a lot about seeing Aaron in two weeks, I’ve been spending lots of time researching where to go and what to see and where to eat and drink in Philadelphia and the Brandywine valley. I really can’t wait – and I really hope I don’t pee my pants when I see him.

367 days to go.
