Me, myself, and I

It's unseasonably warm here today! Almost 70 degrees at one point, which is just unheard of for early November in upstate NY.
I took a walk around campus at 2:00 and watched the students gearing up for the weekend. All excited and talkative. I still feel that way most Fridays. I feel it today even though I'm pretty sure I'll end up going to a bar with friends and then going back to K and J's house to hang out in the hot tub. But there's just something about Friday that makes you feel alive! The world is full of possibilities!
It's been a really long week at work. Things are changing around here and change can often be uncomfortable. Not only that but we are in an incredibly busy season and the work surrounding it feels like it's consuming my life.
Last night Eric and I made plans to go out to dinner (we do this once a month, preferably on the first to celebrate each month that we are together). He had to get an oil change after work so I was by myself in the apartment for a little while and I realized how rare it is that I'm alone. I'm never alone with myself and I sort of miss it. Don't get me wrong, I love Eric more than anything, and it's wonderful to have a partner in life but sometimes you need to be along in your head. So before he came home I did some sit-ups and push-ups and took a nice hot shower. It was lovely. Then he came home, we had a glass of wine together and had a really great dinner out. The only flaw on the evening was that I left my doggie bag at the restaurant! Damn!
