This will seem kind of lame after I explain why, but I'm having a fantastic weekend.
Friday night I came home and cleaned the entire apartment, something I had been wanting to do for over a week but had been too busy because of meetings and homework. I feel really satisfied now that I know everything is nice and clean and I did it before my husband got home so it was a nice surprise for him as well. When he got home from work on Friday he wanted candy so we went and bought him some along with some other groceries and another copy of Aion so we could play together. I had asked him what he wanted to do with the evening, giving him three options: 1) laser tag with the other graduate students, 2) board games with some of our local friends or 3) stay home with me and play video games. Of course he sweetly answered that he really just wanted to spend some time with me so we played Aion for the rest of the evening. It was fantastic and I miss him so much during the week that it was just what I needed to lift my spirits.
Today I woke up determined to get a head start on my homework and I blazed through it in an unexplained twist of fate. I got a good portion of both assignments done and it really gave me a boost of confidence. Mike woke up and started playing Resident Evil 5 while I was still working and once I was finished we ate a bit of lunch and then played Aion a while longer. Unfortunately my computer has a graphics card that can barely handle the game so it gets quite warm after a couple hours of play so we had to quit and eat some dinner. It's been so nice just sitting around with him and being able to enjoy his company without any obligations weighing on my mind. He really deserves that during the week, too, but it's so difficult sometimes. I'm sure it will get easier as I get into the groove of things, but it's hard to keep telling myself that without getting discouraged.
Anyway, tomorrow I'll try and get a bit more of my homework done and also do the laundry. After cleaning the apartment, getting groceries and doing the laundry, I won't have any more responsibilities from home to worry about during class next week and that is absolutely fabulous. I'm really excited that I've been very productive this weekend and yet I've also had a lot of "just for fun" time. It's wonderful. I even snatched a few moments to read some yaoi manga which I haven't done in months! Wonderful indeed.
I'm still deciding if I'm going to go clubbing tonight, but I'm having a really nice time with my husband and I don't really just want to rush off and leave him lonely when I get so few chances to be with him anyway. I'll save it for another time when I didn't have such a busy week I think.
Happy trails, internets.

I like this entry.
It was way harder to spend time with Brandon when he was in school because he was doing homework any time he wasn't in class. Now that he's working it's so much better because he's done at five and doesn't have anything to do until 8 the next morning. But I am sure you'll get into a nice routine soon enough.
