spring has almost sprung.
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008
Unfortunately, there was no more rain. Just a terrible wind storm that kept me up most of the night, for fear of giant palm trees crashing into our loft. The winds were very violent. The gusts must have gotten up to 80mph, or so I’m assuming since I am not weather expert. But it was enough to keep me wide-eyed & anxious most of the night. Poor, Jonathan; I must have woken him up several times, whimpering like a scared puppy, asking him if the trees were going to crumbled into the house. He held me close to him, saying that everything was going to be just fine. I hardly made it through the night. California is having some very extreme weather. I woke up this morning, thinking that the wind storm would still be going on. But surprisingly, it was calm out. Not one cloud in the sky & the was shining as though Mother Nature had a bipolar episode & is now convinced that she just went sleep peacefully last night. The wind only did damage to our fence at the side of the apartment; it has completely fallen over towards our door at a complete angle. Other than some annihilated branches that were not ready to be shed quite yet & lots & lots of dust, everything seems normal.
Today has gone by quickly, being that I have managed to stay completely busy with things that aren’t important enough to mention. Housewife chores & errands. Jonathan joked last night that he is going to be sad when I finally do get a job because he will lose his happy stay-at-home housewife. I joked back & said “you know… I don’t HAVE to get a job.” & that was the end of that conversation. Truthfully, I am enjoying myself. I am enjoying this wonderful time I get to spend alone (I mustn’t forget my Sofie!) . All this time to which I may do whatever I please — within reason, of course. I have had to hold myself back from returning to H&M & purchasing whatever my heart sees fit, as much as I loathe shopping. I’m not completely a sloth, couch-potato, slacker, whatever you’d like to call it. I do much around the house. I can’t remember the last time Lover did the dishes; neither can he. I have made dinner nearly every night this past week, which is a big deal, considering when I first moved here I relied mainly on Lover’s cooking. I truly enjoy cooking & I am happy to get through my husband’s heart through his stomach.
We completely rearranged our apartment last night. Jonathan says that it brings much more energy in the house. I have to agree. We spent all of last night together in a very togetherness sort of way. While I watched old movies (Roman Holiday, which is one of my most favorites & The Blue Gardenia which is the essence of class & sophistication) Lover messed with his blog, talking to me every once in a while to get my opinion. We made coffee at 10 o’clock or so & ate these extremely delicious dark chocolate biscuits while giggling at the Talk Sex With Sue show. We had a wonderful night, which is funny to say because it wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary. Sometimes we do much more extravagant things in our evenings together; but why this night was special from the rest, I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I realized how much I love him. Maybe it’s because I realized how much he loves me. & how our loves manifests itself in the simplest things; like our dog, Sofie. Or the weather (we both adore cold, overcast days). Or anything really. Everything is much prettier when you’re in love; whether it be with yourself or a new album from one of your favorite artists.
Thankfully, Spring is just around the corner, which I didn’t know until today. That is the sheer giveaway of all of my delight today. Spring is mating season, as well, no?
