No, Monday nights are difficult because they are the first night of the week that I don't spend with Inspector Climate. Usually, the weekends are spent at his apartment and we spend every waking moment with each other. Sometimes we go to the movies, or explore some part of the city, but recently more often than not we sit with our respective computers and work.
Monday morning arrives and we take the train to our separate work locations: him to his job and me to my "desk" where I spend hours looking for a job. By the time Monday night arrives the exhilaration of "maybe this job will be it!" has warn off and I long to be back in his apartment cooking food in his kitchen and brushing our teeth together. But I go to yoga and with the energy from my practice I come home and cook myself dinner, watch some tv with my housemate,
Then I climb into bed and desperately miss hearing him tell me he loves me before I drift off to sleep. That's why Monday's are so hard.
Awww! You need to come up with a new Monday evening ritual that has you so busy having fun or just plain distracted that you can't spare even a second to think of Inspector Climate (is that possible?).
ReplyDeleteLet me throw in a platitude: absense makes the heart grow fonder.
Wow. Way to bum me out! Especially because I'm looking for a job right now too (nervous face). Chin up though, at least you have your health! (And if "The Hurt Locker" hasn't come out down under that's just a damn shame ...)
ReplyDelete1) I used to feel like what when I drove home from boston to NH... it was the worst... but then thursday came around and I was filled with all those feelings from the weekend again :)
ReplyDelete2) You really should see The Hurt Locker! It's amazing!
