Things I miss

[eveglass]

Time and experience have taught me something insightful about my own personality: the last third of any extended separation (trip, vacation, or, in this case, long-distance relationship) is the hardest. I start missing the things or people far away much more than I did in the first two-thirds of the separation.

I just hit that "last third" point in my seasonal separation from Marc a few days ago. I've been thinking about him a lot. And it's not what everyone thinks. It's the little things. Things like:

- kisses on the base of my neck
- curling up on his couch with a mug of tea and our legs intertwined
- morning snuggles before we get out of bed
- wrapping my legs around his waist -- while upright -- to give him kisses
- watching him laugh
- holding hands

Soon enough, I know. I'll be leaving for Pennsic in 8 days, and once I come back there will be only 2 weeks left. I know already they'll be a brutal two weeks, but I'll get through them, and then he'll be home. Until then, though, it's gonna be a rough ride.

Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones talking, but aw! That's so cute! Don't worry, you'll get all those cuddles soon enough. I can sympathise, I find it very difficult to fall and stay asleep when Leigh's doing a night shift or if we're separated for some reason.
