So w2b has gone off to Manchester for a few days (she's learning how to project manage - don't know if it's for work or so she can tell our builder how to get his shit together) leaving me to the inept bachelor life style I was used to before she came along.
So you know what I've realised...?
Without her - I'm useless.
Problem no. 1: Food
Don't get me wrong, I can cook. Plus, now that Sid's come along I like to eat. But without w2b's guidance I forget to eat. Then, when I remember (or am prompted) I can't decide on what to eat. Luckily, before she left w2b popped along to Nando's and got some extra chicken. I can at least have toasted chicken and mayo sarnies. Which leads me to Problem no. 2...
Problem no. 2: I can't find anything
So I went into the kitchen to revel in my culinary expertise and couldn't find the sandwich toaster ("snackwich" machine in SA parlance). Bear in mind that we have exactly 10 cupboards in our compact kitchen. Luckily w2b phoned just as I was beginning my third circuit and let me in on the secret of where she had "hidden" it. Yeah, yeah it was in one of the cupboards (one day I will do an entire entry on what has now been termed "man-looking" in our household).
NB This is also the reason why I haven't posted any pictures, even though there's been some nice progress
Problem no. 3: I second guess the things I say
When w2b and I are together we are disturbingly frank with each other. We speak our minds and never have to worry about putting things across properly - it's kind of second nature. It's also one of the reasons why we never argue (I know, sickening isn't it?). But when we're apart and chatting either on the phone or over MSN I'm always worried about how things come across. I tread a fine line between expressing how much I'd like to be with her and sounding like an obsessive stalker who doesn't want her out of my sight. It makes me wonder how we ever got together when we were going through the Long Distance Relationshiptm stage.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I miss her. Horribly. And can't wait for her to be back.

I'm a very lucky lady to have found such a wonderful man :-)
I miss you to chicken! And I'll be home soon.
Don't forget to eat!!
Well, if that's your idea of toning it down, thank goodness you did!!
We have man-looking in our house, too. Top Bloke has been heard to say 'well if you will hide things right under my nose where you KNOW I can't find them...' which made me laugh like a drain.
