Fun, abbreviated

Why do I get the feeling that everybody else is out having fun while I'm coasting here? Anna's on a backpacking trip with her friends, Becca and Becca are having innumerable adventures abroad, Matthew's in Chicago, Grandma and Grandpa are in Florida... and I'm here, either at the gym cooling my heels or at home where everything is in such disarray that it's a chore just to watch TV.

Or maybe it's just the anticlimax to what would otherwise be an infinitely happy day. It's our one-year anniversary, Becca and I... and of course the bittersweet is all too strong. We were able to get a webcam chat set up this morning, but we spent so long trying to get everything set up - and on top of that I was constantly interrupted and distracted here... and then she had to go! Technology, technology... such a waste sometimes. All I really wanted was a smile and some reminiscing, but I didn't realize that until it was too late.

All that's left to do is coast through the rest of the day, and catch her tomorrow. It'll get easier, I know it, and smiles always come in the end. Right now, though, I have to decide whether I should work here at the gym or head home and relax. I think I'll go home...
