hkellickI just got back from Kristens and I want to write about it.
First and foremost, no matter how you slice it or dice it and no matter how wonderful the weekend is, 48 hours is NOT enough time with the woman I love. We need to be closer and we need to be closer now :(
It was.. a weekend. I want to talk about it and what is and is not important to me.
The weekend started Friday night. I got to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dawnstar's house about 7. blackfelicula, mechanchaos and kolys were all sick. hbbtrbbtbcnbt, dawkstar, ecwoodburn weren't (yet.) We ordered sheet pizza and hung around chatting and talking and laughing. Between sick people, though and ecwoodburn being walking dead, we left fairly early (10:00 or so?), dropped blackfelicula off home and went home to cuddle and sleep.
Saturday we all woke up pretty late, then went and ate a quick lunch and headed to Wegmans.
Except that on the way, we had decided to go to Walmart first to get fix-a-flat. Some background knowledge, I've had a leak in my tire all week, but it seems to be slow, so I aired it up and headed to Rochester anyways with the plans to bring it in this week (hopefully tommorow). Anyways, so we went to Walmart, oggled the game section a while, then go and ask for fix-a-flat. The girl at the counter asks why and I tell her and she's all "Well, let us examine the car and if we can fix it, it'll cost like $6.50 and will only take half an hour, fourty minutes.
Sounds like a good deal. So I drive the car around, give them my keys and we wander around the store. It was a Super Walmart, with food and everything! So, of course, I was amused and had to tellkholnuu (Which I just did :) ) Came back to the counter about half an hour to see what the story was.
They hadn't even looked at it yet. Not only that, but they were busy now.
So I steamed a little quietly and asked the guy behind the counter how long it would take. He didn't know because he just got on shift. So, anyways, the mechanics drives it up, looks at it and within 5 minutes tells me there IS a slow leak, but it's too close to the rim to fix. So we get the fix-a-flat ANYWAYS and head off to our original destination: Wegmans.
Get home, take a quick nap and meet up withdawnstar, kolys and blackfelicula for a game of pool. Things starts out pretty well. I warm up. Kristen starts doing the pool shark thing. Even Dawn and Maureen get some good shots.
Then things break down as the live band starts playing "Arms Wide Open" and Dawn is crying and we all are in a big group hug, cause, hell, what else are we supposed to do to help Dawn? Unfortunately, there are times when being Empathic can be a bitch. That was one of those times. I needed a breath of fresh air and so took a quick trip to the john to help unjangle my nerves. But by that time, I'm getting tired and cranky (proved by, when Kristen told me to shut up, I actually did, just to show her why she should not say such things.)
Anyways, it was my idea to go to Denny's after to help bring in Dawn's birthday proper-life, and we do so, but by that time, I'm the walking undead, so... I wasn't much fun and I'm sorry to all because of it.
Get home, go to bed sans Kristen. Something I need to get used to, but I don't want to. It takes a while to get to sleep, and I keep waking up half-expecting her to slip into bed at any time. In fact, I had some odd dream about waiting for Kristen to come to bed and Dawn and Oli were there doing.. something. I don't remember now. It's probably not important.
Around 4:00, she does come to bed. We snuggle for a little and then I flip over to go to sleep, but I can't. Too hot, too cold, too cramped, back hurts.. for an hour and a half, I try to fall back asleep and fail. Finally at 5:30, I'm back asleep.
Sunday, I wake up about 9:00, crawl out of bed, grab some clothes on and go watch "Walking With Prehistoric Beasts" whilst Kristen sleeps. It was really good and I enjoyed it immensely. I really DO like this "Walking with" series. Everything I've seen so far has been phenomenal and it's just cool to see animals I know and love :)
Kristen wakes up about 12:30 and.. she doesn't feel good. She feels sniffly and had a sick taste in her throat and.. just isn't happy.
We basically spend the rest of the day taking care of her (and I'm trying to feel better myself too because my throat is itchy and dry and I just don't feel as good as I'd like).
I ran to Hess for ginger ale for her, we watched Monty Python's Meaning of Life, I cooked her dinner (These are all in some order, but not necessarily chronological)
I'm semi-proud of myself in that I cooked dinner without assistance. Mind you, dinner was perogies and easy-make fettucini, but it was still nifty to do it myself.
Anyways, it was a quiet not particularly awe-inspriing Sunday. I wish Kristen had felt better, but.. that's how it goes.
Wish I could be there now to help take care of her, but she'd probably sleeping more soundly without me.
Then I went home.
Then I got online, clicked my KoC links for the night.. and wrote this entry.
And now I go to bed.
I love you, my Kristen. I love you lots and lots and am glad that you are part of my life.
Wish we were closer, so we didn't have to keep saying "See you next week".
See you Friday :)
Off to bed I go.
