Gah, I can't believe I'm physically and emotionally depressed over being home and having to return to work tomorrow. We're supposed to go to a birthday party for friends of ours (the husband and wife - they share the same birthday - with the brilliant little boys) at six-thirty and the idea of going just about brings me to tears. I just got off the phone with Jake who - after I went back and forth about whether or not I wanted to do something before hand - finally said he would just pick me up at six. He let me off the hook for the whole thing but I'd be a pretty terrible girlfriend if I didn't go with him, I think.
On any other day I'd probably want to go - I mean, it's a dessert party for Pete's sake, with a yet to be seen array of delectable sweets. Not today, though. I mustered up just enough oomph to shower and run out to Joann's with my Columbus Day 50% off coupon to pick up a crochet book I wanted then I was back on the couch, alternately napping with Mina and reading The Gates of the Alamo. I think Jake was surprised to see me reading a western. I'm a sucker for a western/romance with a lot of war and such thrown in. I can't read straight romance but if there's dust and horses and Native Americans...I'm all about it. Lonesome Dove is one of my absolute favorite books.
I digress. I feel like I should get off my rump and meet him out for coffee or something to kick start the evening. It's amazingly hot outside, though, and the idea of drinking coffee, even in an air conditioned shop, doesn't really appeal. Or maybe I should take myself out to dinner - I'll need a solid base for all that sugar, after all. I could go for a tall beer and some chicken wings but really don't want to go alone because reading at a Buffalo Wild Wings is just silly. I could play trivia, though...or I could just call Jake and tell him to come over early....
Regardless, I really do have to go back to work tomorrow. Meh.
Returning-home-depression: sign of a really good vacation, and, unfortunately, inevitable.
