A lifetime in a weekend

This weekend has been both lonely and wonderful at the same time. I had Friday night with my Brian (we went to see "Bride and Prejudice" and found it a lot of fun). On Saturday we both rushed around to get ready: me for ballet class and he to head to NYC for the weekend.

All of this free time continues to feel decadent. I know its a matter of time before life changes and something comes in its space, but for the time being I'm enjoying it. I miss having Brian around, but at the same time its liberating to not have another person nearby to plan around. The cat and I have reconnected in a way that we're not able to do when I'm running in and out all day. Its kind of like I'm 14 again, and he's keeping me company in my old bedroom while I listen to Metallica and get through pre-algebra homework at my desk (or sit on the phone chatting with Pete). Time is worth all of the money in the world.

Brian gets home tomorrow afternoon while I'm at work. It will be nice to see him for the hour or so after work, before I run out to dancing. I think we need to slow down to really appreciate how much running around we do, just like we need to be alone sometimes to appreciate the people we have in our lives. Life is too short just to pass through without pondering these things.

Addendum

I let the buns out for a bit earlier today, but it caused my allergies to flare up. Silly me, I rubbed my eyes too much and now they are all swollen and ugly looking. After changing my shirt (bun hair all over it), changing their litter box, and getting outside for some air (last shoveling for the night and putting the trash out) I'm OK to be in here now it seems. Its a shame that they bring this out in me because they are so cute (more so when they climb all over me for treats).

Needless to say, with puffy eyes I'm not up for a lot of reading or attempting to figure out the serger. More TV for me - but at least there is knitting (and Alton Brown). I don't know how people can do this every single night and not feel like their brain is rotting! :)
