brightrosefoxAdam is flying out to Las Vegas, Nevada tomorrow, early morning. He flies back home late next Thursday, arriving home on Friday morning, March second. He is home now, preparing and packing. Yesterday and Sunday were spent grocery shopping to fill the fridge for me while he is gone.
I do love the way the bedroom is set up now. It looks more like a bedroom and less like a room with a bed. The king sized bed that once belonged to Adam's parents had taken up most of the space, pressed up against the wall in the middle of the room. There were two narrow aisles on either side and a walkway at the foor. No real room. Now the bed has been turned sideways, settled under the windowsill so we now lay on it width-wise instead of length-wise. The dressers and bureaus have been shifted around so the dresser that had been under the windowsill is now against the wall where the bed used to be. Charlotte and I changed around things so I have the two shorter dressers and Adam has the others. The 42-inch flatscreen plasma TV is still on the same dresser, but now at an angle to face the bed. We may move it later. The mini fridge is on the edge of my dresser. Charlotte also cleaned out the closet and organized everything, even all my shoes, and our coats and jackets and Adam's dress shirts. The closet doors close now, and we're keeping it that way. Everything is folded and put away. Charlotte taught me how to properly fold and store my clothing, since I have trouble doing that. She has been very patient with me, as she has an epileptic half sister who has severe organization and cleaning problems, because her brain cannot process certain things and becomes overloaded and she seizes. She has observed the same behavior in me, but calls me a neat freak compared to her estranged sister.
There is a whole floor to sit on and even do exercises on. I might go out and buy a mat to go along with my Pilates Ring. Charlotte and I have been trying out basic Pilates together.
(Beca, when you come over we need to bounce on the bed and do jumping jacks around the room, just to show we can)
My severe migraine seems to be ebbing. Lunch helped. I ate a panini sandwich filled with fresh mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and basil pesto. It was light enough not to upset my stomach, and filling enough in case I couldn't finish it. I should fill the humidifier with water and turn it on. That will help too. It will rain soon. The sky is as heavy and dark and rumbling as the inside of my skull. Along with my menses, it is the culprit. My boss is still out sick, so I won't let the pain overtake me.
It is in the forties outside, as far as temperature. The snow and ice have begun to melt.
