Where’s the worm?
Look at me! I’m an early bird today! 7am and I don’t even have bed hair. Indeed, I feel it’s going to be a good day!
Last night, Michael came over and stayed. We’d planned to watch a movie, but when we finally put it on, after a visit to Safeway and much arsing about, the power went out. It stayed out for ages!
So we sat by candle light while he chewed his Nicorette gum and I smoked my ciggies and talked about our respective ex-factors. We talked untili about midnight, then decided the power wasn’t returning any time soon, and went to bed, where we talked some more. It made me laugh that he’s like me in his ’sleeping next to someone’ routine, whereby he warned me that he snores really loudly and moves heaps and does those jumpy things occasionally. I normally hate having to warn someone about the fact I do all those things before I sleep next to them, but if I don’t I’m afraid they’re going to freak out! Plus, I think it’s good form to warn someone in advance if you’re a renowned snorer.
Thankfully his snore wasn’t as painful as I imagined it would be, and given that I’ve had some fairly extensive experience as a girlfriend of snorers, I barely heard it. I was more worried I was going to wake him with my snorning! I quizzed him this morning and he said he only heard me snore a little bit. Thankgod! Otherwise he’d never see me as girly again, given that I emit some sort of angry chainsaw noise during my slumber.
I had a really good time last night, even though we didn’t really do that much. It was just cool as to hang out with a newish friend and find it so comfortable. I like that we can just kinda sit in relative silence and not feel awkward. That rocks.
I was telling my friend James yesterday about how refreshing it is to make a new friend as an adult, because generally, being an adult can be quite isolating. It’s a lot harder to make friends than it was back in the day. In turn, I’ve really appreciated finding someone with so much in common and who is so easy to be with.
Speaking of James, good luck with whatever happens today. Either way, you will be okay.
Nate is home again, home again, jiggidy jig tonight. Not sure if I will see him though, as I’ve got my shrink appointment early tomorrow morning and may be in bed when he gets home from the airport around midnight.
Will be nice to have him home.
