canadiandiamond | Tuesday, Tuesday... (Reply)

...as if I needed another reason to dislike you. Mondays in disguise, they are, especially today. I'm posting this rather hastily from the hotel lobby; I've checked out, as it were (the computers that handle that are down so they just took my key and will e-mail me a receipt later), and while there's no time limit on this free lobby computer there'll probably be some still-paying guests looking to use it soon. That and I should probably head out, I'll likely be heading into the office later this afternoon even though I really, really don't want to, ugh.

For those not in the know,

believeitup flew out a little over an hour ago. It was an awesome trip, too short but they all are always too short, especially looking back on the day of departure, heh. Her trips here, though (with the exception of the supposed-to-be-quick-but-usually-an-hour-or-more pop-ins at my office), give us more time together since we're both off of work, instead of my trips to see her where she doesn't get as much time off of work, so there's that. It was also great because my in-laws visited us and got a whirlwind tour of a small part of the province, enough to tantalize their tastebuds and tempt them to return next summer, hopefully with

girlyduck and

elevea joining us. :)

I won't steal my wife's thunder and go into detail about our trip, other than to say it was fantastic, and many, many pictures were taken, a small sample of which she's already posted to her journal. The only downside was, of course, having to part ways once again, but as she so wisely pointed out this will be the last time we have to part like this from NL, at least for a long term / unspecified period of separation. Which does make it easier, and I do feel much better now after having a bit of a hard time this morning. I do regret not checking out of the hotel when we both left for the airport, though; the hotel at which we stayed is literally just up the road from the airport, a 1m drive or so away, you can see the terminal from the parking lot even. To maximize together time I figured I'd leave my things here, and I'd check out after she left, but that was kind of a mistake. One I won't have to relive or anything, as it was pointed out earlier, no more partings like this from NL-side, but after composing myself as best I could and leaving the airport, when I came back into the room and smelled her shampoo (the shower / bathroom is immediately to your right as soon as you enter the room we had) I kind of hyperventilated for a little bit. >.> I'm alright now, though, and was a few minutes after sitting down and collecting myself, heh, but yeah, coming back to a now-empty hotel room and ... yeah, it wasn't the smartest move yours truly has ever made.

After a quick chat with

onlyonechoice on my phone (btw, sorry I left so abruptly but the battery died on me! :() I rested for a bit, then grabbed a quick shower and now here I am, typing a longer-than-originally-intended entry in the lobby, whoops. Better get going, thank heavens for my car charger so I can shortly use my phone again. Hmm, my wife is probably already in Halifax now, actually, so I should go and check for texts, if they were allowed to send any (I don't think they were deplaning in Hali, hmm).

So yes, sorry for anyone who read all of this rambling, haha, but it feels good to get it out, so that's a good thing, yes? Yes. :)
