Emo
Feel free to skip this post if you dislike emo.
For I am feeling quite melancholy this evening. I am sure that I will perk up soon enough (hot dinner and last night's taped NCIS will help), don't worry.
But I am feeling lonely and tired. I need a hug. I was just walking back from the station, which provides me with just over 10 minutes of quiet mulling time, and I was mulling over how nice it would be to be walking in the door and being greeted by a nice big hug. It's one of the downsides of living alone. I mean, some of my previous housemates haven't been very huggy people, but if I'd needed one I would have been able to get one! But right now all I can hope for is that one of the cats will come and purr for me on my lap while watching TV (a good bet in the case of Beau).
On the whole I need a hug because I am worried about work. Feeling a bit overwhelmed and getting worried about the work-load when my colleague leaves on August 1, and how long it will take to get a replacement actually at her desk. Trying to figure out, just in the next 2 days, how to get all the things done that I need to do. I even brought a small piece of work home with my tonight, to try and fit in amongst building my new shelves and making my spare bedroom habitable. I have a friend+hubby coming to stay tomorrow so I'll be in here for 4 days and it isn't fit for that...mostly because I need it kitten-proof for Beau to be in here during the days. So I'll be quite busy tonight with that, nevermind re-writing my abstract.
But then I remind myself that so many people have things much worse off than me, and I feel like deleting this whole ramble.
Sigh.
And as much as I've been trying recently to be happy single and mostly succeeding, I am really craving the kind of hug only a partner can provide, and I really wish I wasn't single.
Ok, time for dinner.
