Tonight could be bad. Ducki is going to be out potentially quite late and I may not get any real communication with him this evening. This is a situation that, rationally or not, makes me anxious. I am already planning ways of reducing the stress.
-Persuading Ducki to text me his whereabouts at midnight (so I know whether to wait up) and when he gets home. (seriously, I don’t care if that text wakes me up if I know my boy is safe)
-Trying to do my work, if I can do it in a calm and happy way, but being prepared to put it aside until tomorrow if I can’t. I don’t need an extra aggravation.
-Reminding myself that I am handling this a whole lot better than I could a year ago.
-Watching movies - the ‘chick flick’ variety that I know he would only watch as a favour to me, so tend not to crack out when he’s around, and it is very rare for me to make time for dvd-watching on my own
-Painting my nails - I have a new orange polish that I’d like to try
-Welsh rarebit - yes you can do this with vegan cheese, it actually solves the non-melting problem
-A post on my makeup blog where I haven’t had time to post for a while
-A whole stack of fiction to read
-Having my ‘daily’ walk early enough in the day that I can justify having a second one if I feel like it in the early evening
-Posting here, should I need to, to remind myself that everything isn’t so dire as it looks
