November 22nd - Alessandra, Rocky, and Jesse's bdays

Thought I'd make this list not only so that everyone knows these important dates (and marks their calendars) but also just so I remember them myself. Obviously I'm not going to forget my own bday but the others might get pushed back in my memory a little. My mind is very cluttered. Sometimes important things get burried underneath all the garbage and junkmail. If you know of an important date that I forgot, let me know and I'll be happy to add it.


I'm tired. Rob worked at the liquor store last night which means that he wasn't home until nearly 3am. I have no problem falling asleep before he gets home, but I don't sleep well. I'm very nervous when left home alone. I can see why Ember always tore things up. I just don't like being alone in the city at night. I imagine that I'm hearing all these sounds right outside my door/window but when I mut ethe tv all is perfectly silent. I have a very over-active imagination. I'm also afraid of the dark. When Rob's working, I go to bed with, at the very least, the hall light on. Once he's home and snuggled up in bed with me, I don't mind the dark. He's my protector. Apparently last night when he came home he sat down on the bed and told me he loved me but I guess he must have startled me. I was sound asleep so I don't remember any of it. He said I did a quadruple take - that's right, not just a double or a triple but a quadruple take - and then he thought I was going to scream or flail (like I usually do). I didn't but he said I looked terrified. I probably thought that all those things I've been afraid were going to come and get me had finally showed up. lol. I sound like a little kid. Whatever. I'm afraid of the dark and I'm not too proud to admit it. No need for me to be afraid tonight though because I get to fall asleep next to my lover. He truly is the love of my life. Just thinking about him right now is making me smile. We are very lucky to have found each other. Blech. Enough mush.

I wish it was 5 o'clock. I still have 3 hours till I get to leave. I want to curl up under my desk and nap until then. Grrrrr.
