This morning, he sent me a good morning text, as he does every morning. (He’s very attentive that way).

Being that it’s a work morning and he is in a different time zone, it woke me up. I don’t mind, I love any and all contact with him, but the message mentioned, “only 2 more days,” and I was so excited.  I could not go back to sleep.

Instead, I opened the window so that Kitty could sit on the ledge and look out, then I grabbed my book, The Development, by John Barth, and tried to settle in to wait for the 6:50 am alarm.

As much as I am enjoying the book – a series of 9 short stories about mature-age couples – I could not concentrate. Instead I was working on mental to-do lists and day-dreaming about what it will be like to wake up next to my guy.

Honestly, that is what I am most looking forward to – having him close without having the phone in my hand, hearing him breathe when he is asleep, his sleepy-gruff-voiced “good morning,” not in text form.

Oh, yay. I’m a bit on the giddy side.

I wish you a wonderful day. I hope you find a bit of giddy for yourself.
