Missing Time

Jason has recently started a new job here in Burlington at a company called VMWare. High tech stuff, don't ask. Anyway, the first thing they did with him after hire is send him to California for two of training. That's rough, right? He seemed to be having a great time there though we didn't have a lot of time to chat due to time change and all. He and the gang went to San Fransisco and to Napa and Sonoma County to taste the wonderful wines. He's even importing some home for me to try. Can't wait!

It's been an interesting two weeks alone. The first week was great! I was able to live in my bed if I wanted to, eat when I wanted, drink when and what I wanted, fart, burp and snore. It was heaven. By the second week, the novelty had worn off. I was reminded of how it was to live alone. It wasn't pleasant. I started to neglect my diet, worry about things I shouldn't and basically became miserable. It makes me wonder why we show much more concern for ourselves when we're with our partners.

Jason will be home late this evening and I'm so looking forward to his wonderful company again. Not to mention my quota of hugs and kisses to fulfill. If I ever thought I wanted to be single again, I've changed my mind. This was the perfect test of time.
