Our story

[kolja]

A nice quiet night last night. When I was deployed in Italy this summer, my wife had set up netflix on our Blu-Ray player so I decided I'd get my $7.99 a month out of it and watched "True Grit" which I'd been meaning to see for a while. Fortunately for me she used her default password for the netflix account! (no, I don't use it to spy on her email or facebook - this is the first time I've used it since she set up the page at ourwedding.com for RSVPs and all that).

Today I got a lot done around the house - took a truckload to recycling and the dump which helped out the disaster area that is our garage (which has never been right since she moved in). Got a bit of cleaning done inside too. I know it sounds mundane but I like the sense of accomplishment right now, I feel less stressed in a straightened-up place (not anally-retentive clean, but not a complete mess). I think it's also good for me to prove to myself, even though it wasn't THAT long ago that I was single, that I can still take care of the place on my own (not that she did that much - for most of the past year if she's been home, she's either been in bed watching TV or on the couch watching TV). It also can't hurt if she comes home to pick up something of hers up to find a house in decent shape - that the wheels haven't come off my wagon and I'm getting by pretty decently on my own.

Rest of the weekend, I need to finish DR. I have an appointment with my counselor on Tuesday AM. That's the one who loaned me the book and I'd like to be able to return it to her!
