Kevin's been away on a business trip for almost a month now, and he won't be home for a couple more weeks. I've been enjoying having the house to myself and being able to set my own schedule, especially as my sleeping and eating habits veer around almost constantly. It's been nice to not worry about accommodating someone else through all that. I eat when I'm hungry, sleep when I'm tired, clean when I have the energy, and watch hours of TV when I don't.
I miss Kevin, of course. It gets lonely sometimes, and the 6 hour time difference doesn't help. But I'm also pretty independent. Besides which, nothing can be worse than the never-ending summer he spent in Alabama. At least this trip has a definite end date.
The quiet life means that there isn't a lot to report. I went to a couple of local book sales and stocked up my to-read stack. I went on a tour of the White House with my college's alumni group. I celebrated Sarah's birthday with brunch and sunshine. And last weekend my dad flew out for a visit. In fact, I haven't had a weekend without plans since Kevin left, although those plans have mostly been minimal.
Next weekend I'm heading up to NYC to visit friends and see Hamilton (we got tickets for our anniversary). Then I'm taking a weekend off to clean my house and lounge around before Kevin gets back and my mom comes to visit. I anticipate life getting very busy in the next few months, what with the baby coming and our hopes of buying a new home before the baby arrives. So I've been enjoying the time to just relax and not really think too hard about the future. It's been a nice, quite, relaxing Spring.
