Sorry for the lack of updates lately! It's been a little hard getting used to the idea that my Boy pushed his "Return To NZ" date back by a whole 12 days.... It may not sound like much, but considering I was expecting him to return next Wednesday, but now it's still 3 weeks away, I'm sure you can sympathise with me!!
Anyway - 3 weeks today and he will be back! Ugh - I'm so over waiting.... This has been P.A.I.N.F.U.L. The hardest part? The thinking about it constantly. I wish I could flick a switch in my brain to turn off the anxiety.
I'm trying to keep busy with a whole bunch of random things coming up - watching Jackass 3D tomorrow night (and trying not to vomit), watching Les Miserables (Cameron Mackintosh's 25th anniversary stage show on the big screen at the Embassy!) on Wednesday, CIB Surveillance Night on Friday (but that's another story.... involving a jaunt around the Welly CBD and $40 worth of alcohol in a very short space of time...), my monthly hot stone massage on Sunday, and the following couple of weeks will include a haircut, a wax, some Summer Glow, a major spring clean of my bedroom and the fridge, and quite a bit of fidgeting as I continue counting down!!
What I'm really looking forward to....
Giving him his birthday present - a little belated..
Hugging him!
Making plans for a NY holiday next year..
Christmas in Sydney - not with him, but something I'm hugely looking forward to anyway because it will be all of my sisters together for Christmas for the first time in I don't know how long!
New Years with him!
Going for lazy walks down by the water and sitting in the sunshine (with my 85+ sunscreen) holding hands..
Bring in the same room as him, instead of on the other side of a computer screen!
I hope you're all looking forward to your Aussie summer, or your UK/NY winter - wherever you may be!
Thinking of you all! xxx
Nooooooo!!! 12 days????
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain, Ali. How disappointing. Maybe he is hanging out a little longer so he can catch some snowflakes and have a hint of a white christmas before he comes home?
Sounds like you have lots of great plans and distractions between now and then though.
Hope I'll get to see you and Mel in Bowral at Chrissie??
Stay strong, Ali. He's nearly here!
