A Week Down

It’s been a week by myself now with Katie off on holiday. I have spent many a night cooking for one, feeding the dog and then retiring to the sitting room to watch a few dvd’s or play some Xbox. Whilst it’s been lonely because it’s just me, it’s also been horrible in the fact that I am away from my fiancee and best friend. We are in constant contact and I think it may have offended the person she is sharing the room with but we both don’t care.

One of the most horrible parts of it is that if Katie is out at a bar or a club and has a problem, I am powerless to help her or reassure her, it’s selfish to think she can’t live without me protecting her but it’s a natural instinct that kicks in if Katie is upset or in danger.

The dog has never left my side, he follows me about the house all day everyday, the only time he isnt is when I am at work during the week. Last night he kept licking my leg and waking me up, something I was not best pleased with but just guessed that he was just as lonely as me.

Other news just in, I am flying to the US in a week, following on from the America post below. I will be meeting Katie and her family out there, I will update you as to what happens when I get back as I don’t want to jinx anything just yet.

Lonely :(

At 3am on Monday morning, Katie and her parents departed for Gran Canaria. It’s a new experience for me being so far away from Katie, especially as the biggest distance we used to be from each other in the past was say 8 miles, when we both lived with our parents and we had to drive to each other’s houses.

I have been a right old house husband, I have been feeding the fish, feeding the dog, cleaning the kitchen, loading and unloading dishwashers, things not massively new to me but weird when it’s you on your own.

Luckily, yesterday was a lovely day. Awaking early, doing the above mentioned processes and getting showered and ready, I drove over to my friend Luke’s house who was down at his parents for the weekend getting stuff to take back up to his flat in London. For an hour we consulted various friends as to what we could do for the day, the eventual winner being golf.

Meeting up with my other friend Bacon, the three of us hit the course with our various irons and putters, taking in the midday heat. Carding a round of 47, I came in the eventual winner four shots ahead of both Bacon and Luke, Tiger Woods has nothing on me (see below!):

Coming back for some dinner and to watch the football, we put our feet up and waited for dinner to digest before playing some Wii Fit and Wii Sports. We tried making some funny videos, I will upload them later and you can see what you think.

The thing was that after these guys had left, I was alone in this big old house with just the dog for company, it was very surreal. It really makes you thankful for the time you spend with the one you love because when they are not there, you feel like half a person.

The biggest annoyance since Katie left has been the dog, four times in the night he barked at what he thought was an intruder, I knew otherwise, the house is locked down tighter than Fort Knox.

One day down, thirteen more until she returns
