For those of you that are confused, Richard and I were married in Vegas on September 25th, 2004. I cannot believe it has already been five years. I also cannot believe that he is on his way to Vegas as I write this and I am sitting at home alone! Normally I'm not a jealous girlfriend. Okay, most of the time I'm not a jealous girlfriend. But there is something that isn't fair about Boys Vegas Weekend being the same weekend as K-1 Vegas Baby's Five Year Anniversary. To be fair, this isn't really an anniversary that we celebrate. We celebrate the anniversary of when we met in June. And the task of that anniversary seems too much for Richard to handle, so I can't imagine loading him up with another anniversary. Another reason we don't celebrate this date is that we have talked about doing it again some day, only more properly. Think more ceremony and less 80s hair and make up. So it isn't like he took off to Vegas on our wedding anniversary. I just feel a bit left out.
The strain of not seeing each other for three weeks is taking its toll and we likely have another two weeks to go. I am hoping that he will decide to work extra hard this week and come up here on Friday, as he said he would earlier this week. But I am forever a realist. I am forecasting that a large party weekend in Vegas is going to make the chance of an upcoming visit equal to the chance of a snowstorm. For those unfamiliar with late September in San Francisco, the answer is zero percent chance.
On a brighter note, my mood has picked up again. I'm still disappointed with certain areas of life, but I am trying to focus on improving those areas rather than brooding over how much improvement they require. I have a long to-do list for this weekend, so hopefully I will be focused on myself and that list (which includes fun things) and not on missing my partner and imagining what shenanigans he is getting up to in Vegas.
