Not gonna lie.. a bit bummy today. Long distance love is hard, people. We saw each other last for New Years Eve.
Schedules:
Aaron:
Now-end of Feb: bar prep.
Feb 26-28: bar exam in California
Feb 23-March 5th: He'll be in San Diego
March 15-22: his spring break. Around the 17th or 18th, he's heading to LA for an event.
Mine:
Feb: Arkansas, Washington DC (not that I could we could visit during Feb anyway)
March 4: Meeting in STL (also Aaron's bday)
March 10-11: Meeting in New Orleans (TBA whether I HAVE to go or not...hoping not)
March 14-16: Blaze's bachelorette in STL
Compare the dates. Right. I HATE visiting during the work week unless it's just outside of the weekend. I mean.. if you cant make the most of a visit and make it a long weekend, that just sucks. Plus, that eats a LOT of vaca time from work, so..doing a Thurs-Sunday or a Friday-Tuesday would be great, but doesnt look very much on the possible side of things. I've sat here and thought "well, I could move my March 4th meeting to the 5th then travel up to Chicago afterwards and then head back to fly out for New Orleans..." Ha. That sounds fun.
I get comfort in knowing a visit to each other is within our grasps. When something happens that makes me think otherwise, I get soooo frustrated...and bogged down. Long distance isn't for amateurs, my friends. It's as though the little weekend visits are teasers for when we get to actually spend some time together...REAL, unfixed, TIME. And damnit.. I need my little weekend teasers.
The whole points is...It gets harder and easier at the same time to go without something the longer you don't have it. Both of those feelings frustrate the shit out of me. Boo.
Also, I woke up to "Yeah, Bob, we're expecting 5 inches of snow tomorrow..." WHAT?! Nooooo! I'll show them where they can shove their 5 inches of snow. If I didn't think I'd get in trouble for job searching, I'd totally look in the virgin islands or somewhere...just to kinda make myself feel good. lol!
And I want a cheesburger. Yeah.
Alright. Done whining. :) Happy Hump Day before Lost Day! (Yes, Lost needs its own day)

Long distance love or no love...it could be worse...lol
all i got out of that was CHEESEBURGER.
i'm sorry, i will be a more attentive friend. i love you and can't wait to see you.
my sister and her husband carried on a long-distance relationship for nearly 4 years before they got married. and they only saw each other 2 or 3 times a year (briefly) during that time since they were both in school in okc and birmingham, respectively. i honestly can't imagine doing the long-distance thing, but if my sister could do it (she's much more needy and much less independent that you are, jackie!), than you can too! ;) so vote of confidence for you, things will get easier. xoxo
