juldeaSo, I survived a weekend alone. Actually, I quite enjoyed it once I got used to it.
Dropped Jason off at the airport on Friday. It always astonishes me that I never see any other couples trying to get as much contact in as possible while waiting for the plane to arrive. If it weren't for those damn armrests, Jason and I would be curled up close together. I've actually attempted to sit in his lap before, but the armrests dig into my back then. It's not like we're making out in the airport, just hugging. Hugging a LOT. Trying to get all the touch in before he goes away again.
I didn't cry this time. I'm proud of that; it certainly wanted to come but I fought it off. I mastered the lonliness and kicked it away and left myself to deal only with the impatience, which is an annoyance rather than a pain, and I can deal with annoyance.
That night I rented A Fish Called Wanda, which I had never seen, and also The Pompatus of Love, simply because my eyes caught it in the comedy section and I remembered Rachel talking about it here. They were both good movies - Wanda for the pure comedic slapstick value, and Pompatus for the truthfulness in how they handled relationships. Next I'll have to pick up In the Company of Men, which was recommended to me long ago by Jason Graham. I also picked up Miss Congeniality on Saturday but I never ended up watching it this weekend, so I'll be seeing it one of these nights coming up.
All of Saturday - literally the whole day - and most of Sunday were spent with my nose in my copy of Atlas Shrugged. This is, oh, the fifth or sixth time I've read it. I love reading that book. I respect the heroes, and I see them as descriptions of people I can not only look up to, but also stand as equals of. It's so nice to be able to smile while reading a book, and know that things make sense.
Alas, work calls... My computer is still in the shop and, sadly, so is Jason's (or at least he warned me it was a possibility and he hasn't been online all weekend since getting home), so I'm still confined to getting online from work.
Oh, and I think I aced my linear exam this morning.
