Looks Like I Made It

As I write, Todd is on his 17.5+ hour journey home... likely somewhere over the Pacific... now that's really going out on a limb!

After over a week of quiet and low energy, things are suddenly kicking into gear.  I've been a little slow work-wise this week... but, of course, a rush job comes in today... so I'm scrambling a bit with that... plus I have an already scheduled dental cleaning this afternoon... and I certainly need to tidy things up, do a load of laundry, etc.... though I didn't let things get to out of control for the past week and a half.

Rocky seems to have mostly recovered from whatever was ailing him.  Still have not heard back from the vet's office.  But he ate his dinner last night and most of his breakfast this morning... no odd behavior, though still tootin' a bit more than normal up a storm.  Remind me to just chill out if this happens again with him!

There's plenty for Todd to watch on TiVo... some of which I have already seen (can't avoid the results reality stuff like TAR and DWTS) and other things that I have saved up (Brothers & Sisters, The Office). 

Although I read only one book while Todd was away, I can only imagine how long it would have taken otherwise.  I read a lot more hours and at very abnormal times, like after dinner and waiting for the TV I did watch to "time-shift" or [gasp!] not watching TV at all!   Funny enough, I started a new novel last night and one of the major characters is named Todd.  I had no idea, having not even read the back cover.

While I think time away from each other is a good thing to experience every so often and I think it is important that one feels comfortable spending time alone with oneself... time away still seems like it is a pretty good relationship litmus test.  I'm guessing it's a good sign if I'm am still speaking of "surviving" and "making it" through the week... especially after a dozen or so years together-ness.

I won't get as sappy/eye-rolling to say that Todd "completes me" (besides that being overly co-dependent), but things certainly didn't feel "right" for most of this past week+... out of balance, out of whack, an equilibrium shift... so I'll just say... you had me at "Hello" "I don't know, what do you want to do."
