enJOY it

Dear Paul,

I could not sleep last night. At all. Not even a little bit for at least three hours. Turns out I miss you a lot when it is just me in this apartment. Perhaps I am not the best candidate for Operation : Live Alone. Perhaps I am the worst candidate for that task.

I miss you.

I got lost last night coming home from the airport. Which we should have know would happen. We should have know that if there was not a big arrow that announced "Elise Blaha, Go This Way!" There was no way I could just "figure it out" as we had hoped. I couldn't call you, so I just circled back to the airport and got directions from an 80-year-old airport sheriff. Which was sort of the next best thing to you. I guess.

We get an exceptionally large amount of junkmail. Collecting it all in one day is not as exciting as one would hope.

I should also mention that I am currently trying my hardest to save our plant which when I walked it last night was gasping for breath. Or water. Or sunlight. I am providing it will all three and it looks like it is getting some of its color back. I will keep it around for you to call time of death if things take another turn for the worst.

This morning I will go on a mission to see the geese. Our baby geese who must for sure be adult geese with babies of their own by now. I will of course tell them hello for you. And try to convince them the benefits of staying together as a family unit.

You are the best. I miss you. Come home soon.

Love, Elise

    So sweet! 🙂
    Sorry you got lost coming home from the airport. I hate that! Hence the GPS that J bought me for Christmas last year. 🙂 Which does have a big arrow and announces, if not my name, at least, “Turn left here,” and when I miss that, “Turn back at next opportunity.” Seriously.
    I also did an ode to my boy on my blog… for his birthday yesterday. 🙂
    Hope the baby ducks are well, the plant recovers, and that Paul comes home soon. 🙂

    Junk mail = no good.
    Green Dimes = no more (or almost no more) junk mail, plus a tree planted! [http://www.greendimes.com/]
