solo

Adam has been in Minneapolis all weekend for work. I didn't get home from Wisconsin 'til Friday night, so our trips overlapped a little, but it's been different to have a weekend to myself like this. I definitely miss him, I went to a wedding by myself last night which was really weird, but at the same time I also savor these times alone. I think there will always be a part of me that likes to be independent, even if only for a day or two.

I got up early and went for a long run (I'm training for a half marathon!). it was a beautiful morning, cool and quiet, just how I like it. Then I went to church (something I don't like doing alone. It is one place that people know me as part of a couple, so when Adam's not there, people don't ask how I am, but instead, where's Adam?) From there I bummed around the house, doing laundry, taking a nap, reading, making phone calls, all typical Sunday afternoon kinds of things, but Adam wasn't there to fill in the gaps. It's not that I would have done anything differently if he had been here, but it would have been fuller if that makes sense. Then I grabbed some dinner with a friend and enjoyed an Iowa sunset and watched the moon rise. It's almost full. Now I'm back at home hanging out some more before heading back to work tomorrow. It almost feels like I've been on vacation again since I've been out of the office since Tuesday. Kind of nice.
