It is great to have countdowns. Only thing is, Lufthansa's strike may adversely effect any sort of countdown I come up with. Sigh. Of course they choose THIS month to do this...why not wait a month? Just until Nick arrives here safely?
Monday is SUPPOSED to be the day Nick comes from Germany...but I won't know for sure until Sunday. To say I am excited is an understatement. Truthfully though... I am more existing in a state of Ahhh... How does one describe the way it feels, to be seeing my baby again, after so long apart?? Difficult. Very difficult. It's 'just' been April, but dang it--that seems so long ago. It is just amazing...am on a quiet edge, these last days of waiting both thrilling and scary.
This will be our fourth time together...and will be the longest. And in all ways the hardest--Nick has to WORK! He's not coming here for me, but for the internship. A very important internship...and I've got high hopes for him that it will be everything an internship could possibly be. There will be fun--we're going to a baseball game next Thursday (hoping that I won't have to carry Nick home, from the heat--yikes), and we have other things we'd like to do. Mostly though, we'll be improvising on the entertainment. Being horribly broke this time of year--eeks--well, we'll be improvising. Fortunately, lots of things we like are cheap or free. Thank heavens.
Daughter got killer grants for uni, and her boyfriend broke up with her. Except....he keeps texting her. Lots. It will be interesting to see what happens with those two--they DO adore each other, but Jesse, well...he's leaving for college, and hates it here, and has a high-pressure mom, and he kinda freaked.... Yeah. Regretting his hastiness, definitely, but Tiff is tough--it is hard, but she is keeping a firm grip on things, which is starting to freak him.... She is strong, very strong, and he hurt her badly. She's not going to toss that aside...she's moving forward. GOOD. I half expect they get back together eventually, honestly. She is, though, it looks like anyway, not going to make it easy. GOOD.
Writing is going swimmingly. Writing every day now, and I'm slowly but surely learning to trust in myself again. I still catch myself--the ol 'can I do this, is it any good, is this a waste of time...' That lovely counterproductive stuff. I push it aside, hard, and just dive in...each time, it is easier. Writing is FUN again...
Today, I created someone new. His name is Thanniel. He's my main Boy Player. And Ammy... .don't worry, Alistair is still there, but he is a trouble maker, he insists, though he does have a good heart. Still--Alistair is Thanniel's opposite in so many ways, and quite possibly tragic... LOL. It's been bugging me for awhile, knowing that Ali wasn't the right one for what I want the main character to be...but he is there, mischievous little devil. Slowly, beautifully, things are coming together. Not as quickly as I like, but that's okay.
Shelby is being mean. She's not letting Scotty into my room. LOL.
READING: The Magicians and Mrs. Quent, by Galen Beckett. First book for this author--historical fantasy. Had no business buying a book yesterday, but did anyway as I am devouring all the historical fantasy I can. Gorgeous cover, kind of gothicy feel to the story.
Hey ALEX! Am listening to Depeche Mode... :)
What else? Not much.... I think it is time to go to sleep, like Maddox. Except--he's in my spot. LOL. I just love this picture of my crazy puppy.
