It was an interesting day yesterday. I waited until TGF left before I posted but I have to include what happened since it was part of yesterday. She was feeling sick in the morning and had to go to a dance rehearsal. I had and still have a sore throat which made me cranky too. Both of us were cranky as hell, she was in a lousy mood because she had to get up early to go to dance. The end result though? We didn't get mad at each other. That was the nice thing. We both realized why we were cranky and that it had nothing to do with the other person. Instead of letting the cranky turn into an argument we bonded in it instead. This is important because it came back again later in the night.

The kid spent the night at KBF's house and after TGF left I had the house all to myself. It was interesting. I was alone like in the old days (anything before June...) and it was comforting for once instead of oppressive. A year ago I would have been stressed out to have been by myself like that and would have felt sorry for myself. Instead I enjoyed the solitude. I did some stuff on the computer I have been putting off, took a nap, cleaned the house a little, and made corn muffins.

TGF called around 3:30 and was still feeling awful. We talked for a little while and then she went off to rest. She didn't want to come back over because she hadn't been home in four days and was getting shit from her mother about it. I understand that. The kid finally came home around 6ish and I made us dinner. We watched an Angel and then she went off to bed at 8:30. I called TGF back and we talked until about 10. The point from before is she was still cranky and I was getting worse too. We started to border on an argument on the phone because she kept putting me on speakerphone and all I could her was rustling from her blanket. We wanted to talk to each other but she didn't want to hold the phone and I didn't want to hear noise. Again though, instead of letting it blow up, we both took a moment and realized why we were so bitchy. We worked through it and ended the call happy with each other. That was nice. It was nice to work through things and not end it being mad especially when we knew we weren't mad at each other just the situation.

I still feel like shit this morning. My throat is killing me and I am sneezing. Blah. I have to deal with work yet again this week and there's no room for being sick. Fuck. Blah. Bleh. Hopefully this will pass at some point today.
