Tripping

Yes, I'm tripping, literally and figuratively. I've never felt as excited as I do, right now. We really, REALLY need this time together.

Yesterday, miracles of miracles, we had an opportunity open up for us to see each other in a couple of weeks' time. Within 15 minutes, we had our next visit planned and booked.

Three nights and two whole days. Just for us. This will be the first time ever that we will have all this time, without any intrusions. No work to chew up the days, no early breakfasts, no grabbing an hour here or there, no waiting until the late evening to be together.

Yes, three whole nights and two entire days (plus an evening and an early morning) of togetherness! Am I repeating myself? Delirious with joy, that's how I feel.

I'm about to go into battle to get my leave approved. It's only three working days (and all of them will be spent travelling) as our visit is over a weekend, but dammit I'm not going to take a 'no'!!!

One word comes to mind: YAY!!!!

Have lots of fun and let every moment marinate in your mind. :)

freebird said...

I shall be biting my nails all weekend now! It's just got to be a yes. Seriously, I don't know how you manage your long separations. I've just got to deal with six weeks apart (as of yesterday) and already my heart is aching.

Drama said...

YAY!! So happy to read this, Fiona. They have to say yes to your time off...nothing less is allowed. You can tell them Drama said so. HA I'm sure that will help a whole bunch!

I'm so happy for you!

Jamie - this is going to be the best one yet. Not the longest but definitely the best :)

Ian - hahahahahaha thank you for that lovely dry wit of yours :)

Oblivion - we survive partings that last too damn long, but they are always worth the next hello ;)

Nish - mmmmmmm marination...what a lovely concept ;)

FB - I'm still waiting for the damn approval but I won't take no!! It's always hard when we have to leave each other, and not knowing when the next time will be, but nothing NOTHING has ever made us even think we won't be together :)

Drama - I'll do that!!! Thank you ;)


Anna - It's time, gosh it's over-due, we miss each other so much! And thank you :)
