Just got finished with my midterm exams, caught a last minute error on the scoring key and had to regrade the whole lot!
Got up at the reasonable hour of 11:30 today. CJ was on the computer working. I got a touch of the "Summer's passing me by" blues. Asked CJ if he was going to work, or wanted to do something outdoors.
He was open to suggestions, but time dragged on a bit and I got impatient. ASSumed a few times. ...He called me on it. Tones got a little nasty.
Almost wanted to just spend the day out myself. But we got it together and checked out a cafe on the highway. Some issues there as CJ just ordered soup and so sat there across from me while I ate my soup and sandwhich, which came later.
Kind of uncomfortable.
Then he mentioned an amethyst gift shop up the road, the one we stopped at last year on our drive around the big lake....
....the drive that happened a day after he "returned late" from his "business trip"....the drive on which he seriously battled with asking me for the big D, right then and there! ....the drive that happened 2 days before my kidney surgery...
Then it hit me that a year ago today, it was even hotter out. I'd left my Aunt's place early (she has A/C...it was a family lunch) so I could clean the house before CJ arrived that evening..only he didn't....his flight was "delayed"
Well with this flashing through my head, CJ noticed something was up, so I said "I'm dealing with some anniversary issues"...and explained briefly. He said We have to look to the future. I said "I know that, but there's a lot of past stuff I still have to deal with, I hope you can understand"...
But we carried our blanket to the lake and sat there for a while. I read (New Harry Potter! ).
We came home, I started hand-washing, then got into cleaning the bathroom (much needed ). CJ cleaned some stuff up in the yard and then suggested going to a movie.
One of our earlier misunderstandings was CJ going back on the computer. I ASSumed he was working again...he was checking show times. ...
He's wanted to see Terminater III since it came out, but I'd heard it was loaded with Action vs story....I agreed at first, but the cleaning and washing took so long, I knew I'd have lecture prep to do when we got back...and dinner.
So I suggested he go alone, while I worked. He wasn't happy about the idea (or so it seemed) but he did go.
Good thing I stayed behind as that error cost a lot of time!
