London

So here I sit in London Heathrow airport. Is it already over?? How could 6 days go by so quickly, when I waited for an eternity for Nov 2nd to arrive? If time flies when you're having fun, it seems to never have existed when you're madly in love.

I got in on Nov 2 and after waiting through the most hellacious customs line (got stuck behind half of Moscow, I kid you not), I emerged, tired from hauling luggage, but ecstatic to see Jess. It was almost unreal to see him, I swear no one has ever looked as good to me as he did that first second I saw him. We headed to London and checked into our hotel. His company gets major props, the place was just fabulous.

We spent the weekend walking around London, enjoying the sights and the very un-London weather. We avoided most tourist spots since A) we've both been here before and B) they were PACKED, but we managed to hit up Camden, the Tate, and walk past Big Ben, Parliament, the Millenium bridge and St Paul's. Our evenings we sepent enjoying delicious food and each other.

Monday and Tuesday during the day, I was on my own while Jess worked. I did manage to steal him away for lunch and occassional cigarette breaks though. My only regret was getting a bit too woozy-boozy on Monday night-- so not sexy, but Jess was understanding as always. Then last night my meltdowns started...

It wasn't so hard when I first left for France, so I don't understand why it was so, so painful for me to leave him this time. He'll be in France in Dec for two whole weeks, yet I was just devastated to leave. I bawled, I hyperventilated, I did. Not. Want. To. Leave. Now that I am at Heathrow I feel better, but am definitely welling up thinking about how lonely I will be to sleep alone tonight. But I can take solace in my early b-day/anniversary/X-mas gift from my hubby-to-be: a spiffy new laptop, and it's PINK to boot. Me, spoiled??? Ya think?!?!

Oh well. I suppose the energy would be better put to use thinking of a lesson plan for tomorrow. And a new countdown begins: 48 more days til I see him again...

P.S.- Pics will be posted soon, I am at Jess' mercy since we tended to only use his camera. Stay tuned.
