Truly, an Enigma

He's an enigma. Truly. After having some ambiguous feelings all day about how hard TJ's feelings really were about the weekend's disagreement, he said something sort of surprising. I came home from Jax this AM and due to exhaustion, some mild stomach upset, and the fact that I never call in sick, I took the day off. I know it was bad, but whatever, I needed a mental health day. I spent the day sleeping, vegging, helping my brother comprehend his new lease (for his bakery that he's opening, Atlanta people, you better go!). And then tonight, when I admitted I never actually made it to work, TJ says, "Sure, I see. You could've spent the whole day with me, sleeping in, and you just went back to Savannah and blew off work anyway." He seemed truly disappointed, which I thought was really sweet.

I thought, wow, he still wanted to spend the day with me even after our disagreement. I said, "Damn, you're right. Oh well, I'll make it up to you another time." (I'm going for a three day weekend with him in a couple weeks, 2 days of which, we'll just spend with each other and only 1 day of which we'll be traveling, doing a football thing. . .ok, ok, Florida's homecoming! I admit it, I'm going to Gator Growl!!) I'm really looking forward to some *just* Miss Have You/TJ time, and I told him as much. It's hard to conduct a relationship only on weekends in the presence of others at all times, when social situations abound, and honestly, I think that stress comes out in both his and my attitudes at times.

Of course, this weekend, I think it's UGA's year to finally beat the Gators. Cross your fingers. Zook just got fired and the Gators got beat by what TJ explained to me as the equivalent of a high school football team last week.
