Day 45

Well as I suspected as the initial shock of a new school year wore off, the blues faded away. I still feel rather discombobulated and distracted, but now I’m just not feeling sad about feeling that way. I’m really excited for Friday to come. I get to fly to the east coast and see Aaron. That might be why I feel all distracted now. I’m making little lists so I remember to pack everything – I have to pack clothes for me and for Aaron since all he took with him when he left was his army clothes. As an added complication I am trying to do it all in one suitcase so I don’t have to pay to check two bags. I could just leave his stuff behind, but if I didn’t bring him anything we make an odd looking couple lounging by the pool at the B & B.

I should try to blog when I am more in my manic giggly moods rather than I am just mellow. I fear I am coming across all Eeyore, and really that’s not how I feel at all. I’m super excited about seeing Aaron – though I wish I could have had the time to take the train instead of flying. It’s not that I don’t like flying - I just hate the hassle of it. You get this hurry up and wait mentality and most people are rude and impatient and do everything they can to take up as much overhead storage space as possible. I hate the lines to go through security. I hate having to unpack my liquids and my laptop and taking off my shoes. I hate paying $550 for a round trip ticket and then having to pay an additional $15 each way to check my suitcase. I hate sitting still for 3 hours. OK – maybe I do hate flying a little bit, good thing I don’t do it that often.

At this moment I am daydreaming about our stay at the Sweetwater Farms B & B, and the wine tasting we’ll go to. And the phenomenally awesome breakfasts we will be served. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. You basically get to eat dessert with a side of fried piggy – who doesn’t love that. We’ll cultural stuff too, like see the Liberty Bell and Independence hall. I’m really looking forward to this time away with Aaron.

My thoughts are just bouncing everywhere. Not a very coherent post. I will try to do better in the future.

355 days to go.
