I awoke with a start at 3:30 am.... thinking I had to be at work by 5. Once again, realized I was off, and snuggled closer to my Meaniebutt. I love being able to wrap myself around my warm, fuzzy, personal portable heater.
HIS alarm goes off at 5am. I wake up too and get a glass of water and smoke while he's getting ready. He took too long and I laid back down. Fell asleep waiting for him.
Woke up again at 10:30 in a panic. It's his first day and I wanted to ride up and have lunch with him on his break. Check ma phone...crap, it's dead. Put it on the charger and make coffee. Shoot him a text asking what time he goes to lunch, but no reply. By now my parents are home and Mom is eager to get to the fabric store. I've decided to get her to make personalized aprons for my crew for the holidays.
So we decide to head up to his work anyway, because even if he doesn't take lunch any time soon, I can hit a few stores in the area looking for new work clothes. He texts me back after we're almost there saying lunch in 20 or so. Perfect. I show up, meet a co-worker, and grab us a few sammiches, chips and drinks while my parents take off to do their thing for a bit.
We spend a lovely hour talking, eating, and smooching....a lot. Then I send him back to work and my parents and I head out to get some fabric. I found THIS:
They didn't have enough fabric for all 9 aprons, only 7. So I got enough of the same pattern but in red to make 2 more, for the managers. Told Mom we'd have to wait till the last minute to personalize those, because by next month I might be Asst. Manager.
Home, where my OCD kicks in and I start cleaning/re-organizing our living spaces (Bedroom, bathroom, and "living room"
. Meaniebutt comes home from work and I sit him in his corner of the couch with his computer and a beer to keep him outta my way. I'm pretty much done, other than folding the laundry that's in the dryer.
Hadda good dinner with the rents. Lots of convoy and hearing about Meanie's first day. Now to snuggle on the couch a bit, watch some TV, play online and just soak up each other's presence before showers for both of us and early bed. He has to be at work at 4am.
All in all, a fantastic day off. Got 3 more days of work before my next day off (Friday) which is also my birthday. His boss had him scheduled to work, but was super cool when he mentioned it was my BD and switched his days.
I'm thinking we'll spend the day fishing on the pier. Get home, shower n change. Dinner. Then, I'm not having a party kinda party, but I've told people we'll be at a local pool hall, and they're welcome to join us for drinks and such. Even if no one shows up, I'll still have a blast. How could I not? I'll have the most amazing man by my side, loving me more than I've ever been loved before.
Now THAT is the way to spend a birthday!!
