My trip was cut short so I didn't get to meet family, but I will be getting the pleasure in a few weeks as I have been invited to a big family function...that should be wonderful - I'm so grateful that his family has accepted me so whole-heartedly. Since there was less fam... (PG time) I got a little of what I was hoping for regarding some "fervent groping" as I believe Zephii described.
It was relaxed as can be; I was exhausted, but it was really nice. Next time though? I plan to be SEXhausted, because lately I have been so frustrated and antsy. My SO understands, but I don't think he knows the seriousness; I'm lacking any kind of intimacy when I'm all alone and he's busy as a bee hours away, and that is where I seek comfort.The job search for summer was going terribly, but I sent out a new blast of my resume because a bunch of offers just cropped up. I am doing my best to stay optimistic about it: I know that finding something interesting to do will be a saving grace. I knew I wanted something to keep my busy (and earn some money, obviously I don't want to rely on my SO if I don't have to) because he was going to be working a steady (albeit excruciatingly boring) job. Latest news, though, is that he has a potential job offer from a former employer. I don't know what the pay looks like, but I do know it is a much more exciting job and if it weren't for me, would have accepted immediately. The downfall, and reason I added the "due to me" bit, is he will be gone Monday through Friday, with no Internet access and limited phone access (girlfriend calling to say "I love you!" = likely not worthy of said access).
I KNOW I can do long-distance, I've done it for years, and I know what little contact is like, but it SUCKS. I realize I'm preaching to the choir...but ugh. I have been so excited for this summer, our temporary closing of the distance (and maybe more permanent; that depends on the relationship and educational decisions for the next year). If he's only around on the weekends, I'll have to share that time with everyone who could, in a perfect world, be dispersed throughout the week. I know I'm whining. I'm just bummed out at the prospect. Nothing is set in stone, so it's probably stupid of me to get worried about it. I really want him to take the job if it is offered, though - to keep him sane. We'll see how everything pans out...
I've got under three weeks to pack things up and I'll be able to come home, and then go to stay with the SO. And take over his closet. (Except I think he has more clothes than I do!)
