on being a weekday single

the thing about being a single on weekdays is that you dont feel guilty about coming home late from work. which also means you tend to stay back in the office WAY too often than you'd have liked. which also means that you end up eating breakfast food at nite most times....like cereal wif milk, or peanut butter jelly sandwich.

which is really not a bad thing actually. i LOVE peanut butter jelly sandwich.

but i digress. being a single on weekdays also means that i get to have a lot of me time. time to spend with friends. time to hit the gym. time to just shop for hours without actually buying anything. time to read my books. time to watch mindless hours of tv both online and off. and time to surf, and blog, and basically get yrself connected to the world at large thru mindless tweets and fb.

the thing about being a single on weekdays is that you sometimes work too much. so much that your back aches and you'd do anything for a loving touch to knead the pain away.

and that you sometimes have so much to say but no one to say it to, so much that you feel like you will explode to pieces with all the unspoken mundane nonsense of how your day had gone for you, or how you think this particular news on tv was hilarious, or how so and so from the office was driving you nuts with all the politics.

sigh

the thing about being a single on weekdays is that you appreciate your partner more when they're around. you dont take your relationship for granted, and every single minute spent together becomes soo precious it is savoured till its last drop and still you're not satiated. which also means that you come to the realisation that you're totally and wholeheartedly in love with him, and you wonder sometimes how you've been so blessed.

i am blessed, and for that i am thankful. alhamdulillah.

but i am also, at this very moment, missing him a lot.
