i woke up and went back to sleep probably three separate times this morning, and wasn't up for good until close to 1:30. i wasn't intending to stay home today because of the snow and icy roads, but when nick's manager told him he didn't have to go in today, i easily persuaded myself into calling in to work and going back to bed. i slept off and on ( Read more... )

nerves stopped nick at a green light when he picked me up from work the second week of december. we had made plans to go to dinner downtown, and he stopped at the green light when he was supposed to be rounding the block to go west down fourth street. i reminded him the light was green, which he looked up at and watched turn yellow. he ended up ( Read more... )

nick and i probably switched off driving four or five times going both westbound to the end of tennessee and eastbound back home. he ended up dozing off at some point every time he was in the passenger seat. i'm not a carsleeper ( Read more... )

it started raining some time last night when i was asleep on the couch. i must've been dozing for a couple hours, but i don't know if it was dark outside when i laid down. i woke up to nick leaning down, nuzzling me, checking on me. i got up a few minutes later and we left to go to dinner, not knowing it was raining ( Read more... )

i got up with him this morning when he left for work and ended up stretched out on the couch with a dachshund and a very affectionate and clingy black cat. she's been underfoot all day, sleeping on my chest while i dozed on the couch, then sleeping either between my arm and side or on curled upon my back whenever i crawled back into bed. it's sad ( Read more... )

i didn't remember until later this morning that i had dreamt i was waiting on an underground platform last night. i don't have dreams like that as often any more, but still sometimes ( Read more... )

nick and i will have been together one year tomorrow. i'm so grateful for all the security and warmth he gives me, and how open, direct and honest we are with each other and have been from the very beginning. we were together practically from the first night we met, and according to him he already considered me "his" from that first night ( Read more... )

my deep headaches brought on by angry sinuses are only now starting to subside. weekend before last was mostly miserable, which was disappointing since it was the long holiday weekend. luckily this past weekend was much nicer, even though it was mostly lazy. nick and i were home fairly early on friday night and probably in bed by midnight or so ( Read more... )

i hate summer colds. congestion that comes out of nowhere, stuffy nose and stuffy ears, inflammed throat and lots of coughing. i felt lousy when i woke up this morning, but mustered up enough energy to get up and go to breakfast with nick. we immediately went back to bed as soon as we got home, and i fell asleep quickly even though all my head ( Read more... )

i got home about an hour ago, took off my work clothes, slipped on a soft white tank top and brown yoga pants that i never actually use for yoga. i had a haircut appointment after work, and i relished having my hair washed even though leaning back into the sink with my neck cradled on that uncomfortable edge was awkward ( Read more... )
