So I haven't even been by myself for 24 hours and already I'm lonely! And I've got another week to go like this! ARG! I'm drinking wine by myself - liable to polish off the bottle by the end of the night. The cats aren't much company - they don't answer when I talk to them except for the occassional "mer-ow." My friends all have families... I can't wait for Paul to come back!

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 9:37 am

aww... i'm sorry to hear that. it definitely gets lonely when you're used to someone being there with you. but if your cats start to talk back to you, then you know you've had too much to drink!

Sputnik · Post by **Sputnik** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 9:39 am

Well I'm done my bottle of wine and the cats have disappeared, so now its genvibe and the TV to keep me entertained.Its true that absence does make the heart grow fonder.

looks to be a quiet eve/afternoon on gvc. hopefully something good will come on. what about renting a chick flick? i have plans to watch "paycheck" in a few myself. hope it's good.

Sputnik · Post by **Sputnik** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 9:48 am

Well since I just had a whole bottle of wine by myself I don't think I'll go anywhere. We just got this "on demand" feature on cable where there's 1400 movies that you can buy and use like a regular movie (instead of pay per view) with pause, rewind and fast forward... but I think I might fall asleep before the movie ends.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 9:51 am

LOL. yes, please don't drive anywhere! what about a nice bubble bath? i love taking a hot bath in our jacuzzi tub. then after i turn into a prune, i dry off and go to bed!

Sputnik · Post by **Sputnik** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 9:53 am

I have no "bubbles" for a bubble bath. Nor do I have a jacuzzi tub - my parents have one but they're two hours away! Luckily on Wednesday a friend is coming over for dinner and a movie. And Tuesday and Thursday I have sessions with my trainer at the gym... so that just leaves Monday, Friday and next Saturday to entertain myself.

So do something you normally wouldn't do if there were people there, like dancing like a fool until you're tired, then take a shower, and enjoy a nice peaceful drive around town

wine? Try some bourbon

Oh I did dance around while cleaning the computer room today. I had the satellite radio on the TV. Ah well its soon bedtime and another day down in the countdown until Paul returns,

Sputnik · Post by **Sputnik** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 10:24 am

Well luckily I have a good time with my coworkers and we're taking my pregnant boss out for a surprise "shower/lunch" so that should be good. I think I'll go shopping after work. This is what happens to people who move from their parents house in with their significant other - they have no idea what to do with themselves when their SO leaves for a week!

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 10:32 am

Well sorry your lonely but so is everyone who is away from the one they love. Hope you make it through this time your alone, maybe when you sobor up, remember to buy more.

Sputnik · Post by **Sputnik** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 10:33 am

Oh I know others are lonely. Luckily for me the liquor store is beside work. Or maybe thats not lucky for me... but anyways!

Oh I hate to get drunk off of wine, nothing gives me a more painful hangover. Definately does not make for a good day the next day.I hope that you do find some consolation here Sputnik until your beloved returns.

I had a couple of advil before going to bed and am now up with the birds getting ready for work! No hangover to be seen.

Well Phil my wife goes through the same thing when I leave for a business trip and trust me I miss her like crazy too. With my line of work you have no choice but to travel.Sputnik I feel your pain, all I can say is I hope times flies real fast when your BF is not around. Keep yourself busy and in no time he will be home....

Keep yourself busy and in no time he will be home.... Thanks its nice that someone understands. When you're with someone 24/7 (and yes we are because we work together) and then they go away for 10 days its kind of tough. Some people maybe cynical about it and thinking "oh stop whining about yourself... blah blah blah" but I don't really give a damn... if I feel like posting about missing someone I will (and I did!)... others post multiple new threads about their trips, pets, life situations etc etc, so if I want to post that I'm missing someone, then tough noogies

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 6:26 am

tough noogies, eh? LOLwell, nothing wrong w/ posting about you missing your bf. cause if you didn't, then you know there's something wrong! but i am envious because you get to be with him somewhat soon.... so it could be worse! look on the bright side: when he gets home in a few days, it will be fun! LOL

Sputnik · Post by **Sputnik** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 6:29 am

yeah noogies - I wanted to say the "s - word" but new it would be blocked. I slept with the cats last night. They took over the entire half of the bed where Paul sleeps. I think they're enjoying it.

Fialchar · Post by **Fialchar** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 6:29 am

It's almost nice seeing how much you care for him, somewhat refreshing actually. Almost enough to give a person hope again

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Mon Jun 07, 2004 6:33 am

oh i bet they are enjoying it! my little pups sleep w/ me. the one little one likes to curl up under the covers just under my arm and the other lays ontop of my leg.when i moved back home going thru my divorce, it took a good 6 mos to a yr to get used to someone not being there. is kinda nice to have someone to cuddle up to at night (and i'm not talking about the pets!)

That's why I'm gonna play it safe when I get married. I mean, if there's no couch in the house, then I won't be spending the night on it (With my luck I'll be told to sleep in the bathtub anyways )

I call her every morning when I get up and every night before I go to sleep. We chat on MSN messanger when work is slow. It doesn't make up the fact that I can't see her but its the best I can do. I have tried to bring her along a few times but for various reasons it hasn't worked out...but boy is it ever great when I come home PS I just came back from a week trip to Vegas on Saturday night and I am leaving this Sunday for New Orleans thank God no more trips till the fall!
