NYE and other stuff

hkellickSo, yeah, was just in Rochester for a day and a half. I really enjoyed myself and it was REALLY good to see people, but I am very sad that it is over and wish I were still there, with poor sick Kristen.
Let me backtrack a little...
I don't remember why, but I did not sleep so well Monday night/Tuesday morning. I think my brain was just busy with bad freaky dreams.
Anyways, I had hope to go take a nap Tuesday after getting the car, but that didn't work out so well due to the fact that mom was not moving well (she's still sick. The secondary infection seems to be coming back. :/ )
Get the car, have lunch with my grandmother and then go home for about 30 minutes before work.
Work was.. not so much fun and I longed to be able to be in Kristen's arms and away from... all this. Home stress, work stress etc.
So, regardless of the fact that I was tired, I ended up running off to Rochester. This may have been a mistake as I know I zoned out a couple of times, but I got into Rochester sick.
MEANWHILE, poor Kristen was beginning to feel sick Monday night and by Tuesday night, was just not feeling wonderfully good. So I had run to Rochester to hold a sick and unhappy about it Kristen.
Oddly, this didn't bother me at all. I'd rather deal with a sick and vaguely grumbly Kristen than no Kristen at all.
I think that says something really important there. :)
So, we try to go to bed about 1:30, but Kristen is coughing and blowing her nose and just not sleeping well until she drugs herself with NyQuil about 5:30. That helps her fall to sleep and the two of us finally drift off.
I'm up at about 9:00 and she about 11:00. Get up, shower, start to dress and Beth calls. They don't have a car and she needs to get to Sam's Club. So we finish dressing and get over there by about 1:30.
From there, Kristen, Beth and I hit Wegmans first (where we get lunch), then Kristen runs to work while Beth and I run in and out of Sam's Club.
I hang out at Beth's for about an hour. Meanwhile, Matt returns with the family car (Yay!). Beth cooks her chicken and we head over to Maureen and John's for NYE celebration.
NYE was... absolutely extraordinarily fun. It was great and I really enjoyed myself! :) We played Curses, Rockit to Number 1, LotR Trivial Pursuit, StarMunchkin... I forget what else.. chat, be silly.. have lots of fun. It was like the Dork-a-Thon, but with slightly less people. I had a wonderful time. I only left about 1:45 because I was honestly really tired and worried about driving back to Kristen's house tired again.
We wake up about 11:00 and I am.. depressed. I try not to show it, but it was hard knowing I'd have to leave to Buffalo alone (Kristen WAS going to come to Buffalo with me to have Spaghetti, but she didn't feel good and I can honestly say it was probably for the better for a number of reasons :p ), back to my life such as it is, after having such a wonderful time with some of the people I love.
We went to Walmart to get Kristen some more drugs and snuggled a little until she had a coughing fit and it was obvious the drugs were wearing off in a bad way.
About 3:30, I suggested she take the next set of drugs, go to bed and sleep so she felt better. She did and after some nearly tearful goodbyes and a little more holding, I closed the door and left and she went to sleep.
The ride home was quiet and sad and boring and I haven't gotten out of the mood yet.
I miss my Kristen. I want to be with her. I HATE having to say goodbye. I want to have someone to come back to after work to hold me and be with me. I wouldn't mind being able to hang out with Rochester folks more too, but... mostly Kristen at the moment. :/
*sigh*
This is going to be a hard week. Especially since I don't know yet when I can see her next :p
I REALLY need a job and I need it now, if only so I can having something more worthwhile to come home to then Bed Bath and Beyond and a mom who is sick and grumpy about it and a house that feels way too empty without the girl that I love.
I could go on, but... I think I'll go grab the laundry instead and fold it and wait until she calls.
Loves to all of you, especially those I saw yesterday and super especially to the dork I love.
