Day 8 - Short But Sweet

AM

I have been saying today that I am living still on UK time waking up so early - but I am actually on Sausage time. My brain knows when to wake me up so that the routine of the day is the best for catching you for chatting during the day and my routine follows yours really throughout the day.

Had a cigarette on the porch this morning in Rubysaur whilst the local children were walking to school at the top of the street. I got some looks, I really wanted to roar- but I didn't. Very tempting though. I save my roaring for special people ;) . Today the plan is to do a lot of baking to take into Mum's work for her colleagues - I could do with your peanut butter baking expertise :P . Just kidding.

I am feeling more upbeat this morning - I have put loud music on - helps a lot ... and I'm silently congratulating us for our genius co-ordination of transatlantic time tables today. You have gone off for your walk, snack and to get ready for your family visiting and that's giving me time to get myself dressed, nip to the shops and then do my baking - ready to reconvene at the screen (see that - epic poetry skills) later on.

PM

Okay so my baking is taking longer than anticipated - but I am a skilled multi-tasker. I have been having a lot of fun today - taken my mind of lots of things. I wish you could've been with me though - especially as the mess would probably have been much less devastating with you around  to help me clean up! I have baked classic Victoria sponge, chocolate peppermint and spiced honey oat cupcakes - the latter being thanks to your suggestion. I feel very sick after taste testing them! I needed you to check the chocolate ones though as you know I don't like them. I'm really happy with how they turned out - like you said, my secret is love ;) .

I was happy to hear your family came to visit for playing board games and that you got up to some naughtiness this evening too. Bad Sausage! *cheeky face* You know I love it when you are naughty and the knowledge you are in brighter spirits lifts my day too.

 I'm rather melancholy this evening and very tired so you may have to forgive me for keeping this rather short. However, I know music is a powerful communicator in the absence of my capacity.
I have been listening to Simon and Garfunkel for most of the evening, always makes me think of you but especially this song. I find much solace in it and it takes me to the places we choose to meet in our dreams when we cannot sleep side by side. In my opinion it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and I wanted to leave you with it, a message and a gift to you in one.

I'd like you to be able to take a moment to listen to it with your eyes closed and know I am sending every word right to you.


For Josie, Wherever She May Be... I love you so much.

Eight days survived angel.
