Day 274 ~ Tunnel Vision

October 1, 2014

My Instead: I went to Annette's in the middle of the week for our 2-month anniversary.


Since Annette and I starting seeing each other, we have been doing the “weekender” thing. Either she comes to Belleville or I go to Farmington. We try to alternate places, but sometimes one of us has to book two weekends in a row due to previous plans made. Thank goodness we are both flexible.
After a full Wednesday of being “down on my knees” working, I couldn’t think of anything that I wanted more than to spend the evening with my girlfriend on our 2-month anniversary. So what if it’s not the weekend! And so what if Annette lives one and a half hours away from my door step! Ugh. But if my 16-year-old Honda was willing to make the trip, so was I.
Sometimes I amaze myself how fast I can move when I see that light at the end of the tunnel. And Annette was my light. Quickly as I could bustle after my hard day, I got ready to go. With a Wal-Mart bag of necessary items (make-up, duh), I was in my car and on the road.
When I arrived at Annette’s place, she was tickled to see me. We enjoyed a nice, relaxing evening at home…just what I needed. Because my right hand was stiff and sore from scrubbing and Annette is such a caring person, she ended my day with a long massage to my hand. As far as I was concerned, she could have done that even as I slept. My love language that night was definitely her physical touch.
It was good karma…and I never even saw it coming!
