The part of the day that stretches out.

It's 3:26 in the afternoon. This is the hardest part of the day for me to sit at my desk. I feel the slightest hint of sleepiness in the corners of my brain, the sun is at my back, and I either want to take a snooze or get the hell out of here. It's only an hour and a half more, but it always seems to stretch itself out so that it feels longer than the rest of the day combined.

Especially on days like today. After work tonight Forest and I are meeting at the pool to swim together. After that we're planning on a casual dinner out, a movie, and a long walk in the moonlight. It seems strange after he and I have been together for so long now, but I still really look forward to seeing him at the end of the day. I still go out of my way to see him at lunchtime, too. He just makes me feel so great, and I love him so much that I can't wait to see him. I've noticed that my eagerness for the next activity makes the present one last all the longer.

I've swapped around some time with Bill so that I can take Kirstin camping next weekend. I'm picking her up from camp this Saturday, and she will have a few days at home before I will be taking her anywhere. I'm hoping it will work out okay for her; but I'm not too sure. She's having some of her baby teeth removed on Tuesday, and I have no idea what to expect from that experience. I hope she'll be up for travel.
