The title of this blog is not exactly true. I am perpetually deficient in time. There are simply not enough hours in the day. My to do list is a mile long, and still I "waste time."
I just finished reading Gary's blog. He is currently in Alaska and has been gone for one month so far. Time is not flying by, it has actually slowed with him not here. I find myself doing things to keep busy. I am hanging out with friends more (this is a good thing), trying to keep the house cleaned (mostly failing miserably), reading more, and have watched all 4 seasons of Prison Break on netflix.
We have been together for over 12 years and most of this time we have lived together. I now realize how co-dependent couples are, or at least I feel co-dependent. There are so many things that Gary does that I just am not good at and have never really had to do.
For example:
1. I don't buy toiletries and cleaning supplies. Toilet paper, toothpaste, dish soap is always in the house. I never think about it.
2. Gas in the lawn mower--do we have a gas can for this? (it's been a month and I've mowed the lawn once and had to stop because it ran out of gas)
3. When does the garbage need to go to the curb?
4. What day is recycling?
5. I actually have to buy espresso for it to be in the can so I can make my cafe con leche in the morning.
6. What day am I allowed to water? Oh I forget so I just don't do it. My lawn is dying a slow death.
7. Roses have all but died.
8. Do we have envelopes and stamps? WHere are they? How am I supposed to pay bills?
These are just a few. I probably have more. That is the little stuff though. I really need him to listen to my day, and be by my side. I just went to a friend's wedding, it was the first wedding I have been to without Gary. It was super lame. My other friend's all had their spouses and I felt like the third wheel everywhere I went. Things are always better with Gary there (even if he wouldn't have danced with me!)
So, I guess back to my routine. I've finished prison break so I guess I will start a new TV series or a new book (just finished a good one). Counting down the days...
