So, despite being generally frozen in my flat, this weekend turned out pretty fantastic-- I worked Friday-Sunday, celebrated a friend's birthday, went to Vineyard for Easter (wonderful), skyped my family and heard lots of happy news, and had a really exciting meeting about a joint research project (that I'll gush about more later). And to top it all off, Greg came into town on Easter Sunday just as I was finishing work for the night. We spent yesterday in a teeny tiny coffee shop--he wrote his portfolio, and I researched obscure things, 'cause we're ginormous nerds :) We had our usual date-night-in (Indian takeaway from our favorite restaurant and a movie). But he had to be back in Glasgow for a workshop this afternoon, and I've got a term paper consultation, so he took the bus back this morning. And even though it'd been kind of drizzling all day, the downpour really began just as his bus pulled away.
I know I'm so lucky we get to have short, unexpected visits so frequently, and usually, I spend the days that Greg leaves reminding myself of all the other reasons why I'm so gosh darn thankful for this season of our lives (and also doing lots of work to distract myself).
But the nice thing about living in Scotland is that you can pretty much count on the weather to be rainy when you need it to be. Like when you gotta say goodbye when you really don't wanna. So today, I'm feeling pretty gosh darn thankful for the weather....and taking it as a sign that I'm totally allowed to indulge my rainy-day mood by listening to Ray Charles and Betty Carter croon my feelings all day long.
Happy Tuesday, indeed :)
