I sit here at my computer, typing an updates post, while waiting for my hot drink to cool (mixed cappuccino mix and hot chocolate packet, husband talked me into this and it’s so good) and I’m thinking of a lot of things I miss from back home.
The cup I put my drink in is from a little coffee shop not where I lived, but like a half hour away and while I didn’t frequent there it was one of my favorite spots and I met up with friends there now and then. But this got me thinking about other places I miss from where I used to live. I made a remark that I missed this coffee shop and my husband immediately replied “I’m sorry” and meant it. He always means it when he says it.
We’re coming up on a year married and seven years together. Not gonna lie, there are days I don’t know how this man has put up with me this long. We got into a pretty big fight, I think after we got married, because everything finally caved in on me and I told him I wasn’t happy here. I missed everything back home because I hadn’t been able to find a place I felt I belonged over here. Now? I miss where I came from, but I do like living here. There’s been a lot of change in my life since I moved in September 2024. It’s insane to think I moved that long ago. I adore my husband. There will always be things I miss from back home, but I’m getting more comfortable here. It’s just gonna take a while.
I’m still working on book things and always reading.
I started this post… Tuesday? It’s now Friday morning and I’m sitting in the ER with my husband because he’s been sick most of the week.
Saturday afternoon! Because my life is absolutely crazy. I’ve only been awake maybe a couple hours and don’t even have my glasses on yet. Husband is okay. Just very sick. I’m currently reading a handful of different books, which you can see here and once I fight off this oncoming headache and take care of a few things I planning on staring at my computer screen for longer than is healthy or within reasonable sanity and getting some writing and typing done.
I’ve got a lot I need to get done today. Wish me luck, folks.
