Sometimes you just need something, something to help you get through your day and onto the rest of your week, today was that day for me. I've been feeling seriously despairing, my motivation has been completely trashed for the last couple of days. Last night The Shoulder had called at 02:30 and we spoke till almost 04:00. Today I woke up late and feeling ridiculously unable to get myself to care, I mean the conversation was fun and I enjoyed it, but I really have been feeling down.
Midway through the day The Shoulder called me and asked if we wanted to come over, I asked him if he was going to make me dinner. It was just a straight sure, and then he told me he was going to his parents and would call me when he got home. So a couple hours go by and my sister skypes me and we talk for a bit, then The Shoulder called and said he was home. We drove over and he played some videogames with the kids for a bit while I studied. Then he and I played a round of Halo: OTSD, I haven't really played 3rd person games in awhile, I was sure I was going to do poorly but I did better then I thought I would. We then played Tetris, no one ever plays Tetris with me anymore, after you win every round, people just stop wanting to try. Heh. After that we walked to the store to get some ingredients for dinner, we got back and he made spaghetti, he kept trying to shoo me away from helping since I didn't let him help when I made him dinner a couple weeks ago. We ate and sat on the couch just chatting about things. It was late and the kids needed to go to bed, so I asked the kids to help clean up the mess they had made before we left. Bubbaloo decided he wasn't going to listen and was instead going to annoy The Shoulder with a toy that played a song, The Shoulder warned him to stop but Bubbaloo decided it was far more fun to continue what he was doing. So finally The Shoulder got up and chased Bubbaloo down the hall and tickled him till he was begging to be let down. He cried out "Mommy help" and I just couldn't give up the chance to poke at The Shoulder's side, specially since he is overly ticklish. For the next hour we ran around tickling each other. I haven't done that in a long time. We went home and watched some Daria, Brewski came over so he could watch Baby Grr for me the next day while I had my physical therapy appointment. I fell asleep easily.
I woke up feeling wonderful. It was exactly what I needed.
