My brother, Jimmy, is in town this week. Not only do I have confirmation from my mom, but also from my dad. They’ve both had dinner with him, and I’m supposed to have lunch with him sometime this week. I haven’t seen him in over two years–we’ll have a lot to catch up on. Since I last saw him: Justin and I broke up; I dated Natalie, then Michael, now Eric; Bennie and I lived together for a year; I got a new car. And I’m sure he’s talked to celebrities (and old school teachers) more times than he can recall.
An e-mail was sent out at my office last week stating that mid-year raises will be in place this year, effective September 1. They laid out the criteria for receiving such a raise, and as it turns out, I am eligible. I’m coming in early tomorrow to speak with my boss about how much I’ll be getting. Anything will be great (especially since raises are usually only given out in March), but I’m hoping for something fantastic. Fingers crossed, so we’ll see.
And the thing that will affect me the most this week … Eric left for the Ozarks this afternoon (he’ll be returning to St. Louis on Friday to pick me up and take me down there for the weekend). Since we started dating in March, this will be the longest we’ve gone without seeing each other. A great source of comfort for me during the week is knowing that I’ll be curled up next to him at night (or that he’ll be curled up around me). This is going to be odd, sleeping alone again. Friday night, that boy better watch out. The forecast calls for cuddlebugs, and they will be en force.
