Not so long ago…
…a Friday night at home would have horrified me. I would have heard the people walking on the streets to and from restaurants and bars and been sad to be staying at home. An even shorter time ago it would have made me upset that D has been asleep since I got home and that we aren’t spending a weekend night together.
Now, I’m happy to be in bed, watching Harry Potter movies with two cats and a pup. I have been so down for the past week. It was fantastic to come home from a nice happy hour with most of my best friends and get straight in bed. I haven’t felt so relaxed in a really long time. Sure, I’d love it if D had been awake, but he’s had a terribly stressful time at work this week too. When I found him asleep on the couch I covered him up with a blanket and came to watch a movie.
I can’t wait to fall asleep without that nagging have-to-go-to-work-tomorrow feeling in my chest.
