Today's Plan
Angelo left today for New Year's Con down in Baltimore. He won't be back until the first. Originally I was going to go with him and we would spend the days leading up to the new year together and then be able to kiss on midnight of the new year. But life conspired against me to make that not happen. (Basically I did a stupid park job that got our car towed and I needed to pay for it, which took money away from bills etc.) As of a few weeks ago I was still going to go. Then I got offered a job that would make me enough money to be able to pay the rest of my bills despite the car having been towed, and so, I did the responsible thing and took the job. I know I made the right decision. Especially when you consider that I now have that job plus 3 others going on on top of it (not including my dayjob) that are making me money. Maybe I can actually get ahead a tiny smidgen!
Still though. Knowing I made the right decision and making a decent amount of money doesn't make saying goodbye to him any easier. He left probably 40ish minutes ago and I already miss him. Last year at this time I was packing up to fly down to Baltimore for this same con (it's an annual thing our friends do). This year I'm here at our house pet sitting and dog walking and thinking up a million things to do with him when he gets back. (I think only he'll get what I really mean there. I've been working out kinks, love, and dreaming up ideas. Can't wait til you get back so I can test them out!)
In the meantime I'm going to do my jobs and spend quite a bit of today writing. I actually don't have to go to my dayjob today and one of the dogs has already been walked. I just need to move a friend's car and go walk another dog. And then I'm free for the afternoon until I have to walk dogs again tonight. I really want to dive into writing. I've been working on a short story collection that will be released some time next year, but...admittedly I am wanting to work on a story I started quite a bit ago. It just really needs some editing and a proper ending. I'm excited. Especially since it's raining outside today, so it's the perfect day to hole up in my room and get some of this stuff done! So my plan now is to move my friend's car (and me and Ang's), walk a dog and then drop by the store for some hot chocolate. Because I drank my last one last night and hot chocolate goes great with writing on a cold day.
...also I have to note how cute it is that Milo has taken to following me everywhere. Literally everywhere. I go upstairs, he comes with. I go downstairs, he follows. I've even found him waiting outside the bathroom door for me! Little crazy, but hey. Cute nonetheless. He's also curled up on our bed right now sleeping away. He enjoys staying in out of the rain as well :P
