Thanks for listening

I am sad and lonely today. (boo hoo for me)
My hubby's been away for a week now, and with 9 more sleeps to go. I am reallllly missing him.
The first few days were ok, 'cause I know he's coming back, but then I got a bad cold and that kept me inside - all - by - myself.
Don't get me wrong; I value my alone time, but ah! too much, too much! (and too much studying to boot-I've got a tight deadline) I know if I could get out and do some stuff, I wouldn't feel so lonely, so this next week I am keeping myself very busy. Studying, yes (ick), but also Christmas baking, working on organizing my sister Kay, getting my hair did, having 2/3 sisters over to make (& eat) fresh pasta and watch a chick flick. (Yea for girl time!) Then it'll be doing the cleaning that I let slide since the hubby wasn't home to notice :) and making him a special dinner which he may or may not be too tired to eat when he finally arrives.
Hopefully I'll also be able to start running again. I started a 5km training program (love Nike+Ipod!) and had totally impressed myself that I'd actually be able to run as much as 8km!
Before starting the program, the most I had run non stop was like 2.5km - & I felt like that was a real push -ha! I was 4.5 weeks through the program when this cold hit and my lungs are still not back to normal. With the cold weather, I'll have to be better before I start it up again - cause I'm addicted to air.
Hm. I feel much better. That was very therapeutic. Thanks for being such a great listener!
