337 Days Later


When I first started this blog, K hadn’t left yet. Now, he’s been gone for 337 days. That’s astounding to me. Time does pass, and when we look back, it seems that it went by so fast. The reality is that those 337 days have been difficult and has stretched out the fibers of our relationship. In a few weeks our engagement anniversary will be coming up and it’s bittersweet to me. Hmmm . . . maybe more bitter than sweet. Ten days after our engagement anniversary will make a year since K’s left.

Here’s the highlights of the past 337 days without K:
• Started a new job.
• Moved into a new apartment.
• Had wisdom teeth removed. Awful, awful experience.
• Had to post bail due to a traffic ticket issue.
• Had to go to court over driver license expiration.
• Became a mentor through Big Brothers/Big Sisters.
• Adopted a kitten (or as I call him, my little Gold Mine).
• Nursed kitten through the following: ear mites, fleas, conjunctivitis,
worms, yeast infection in the ears.
• Went through 4 managers in the first 6 months of my new position.
• Had my car booted while on a site visit.
• Had my car catch fire in rural Missouri.
• Asked to be the Maid of Honor in two weddings (this is only significant due to the amount of work that is involved in wedding duties).
• Turned 29 (GASP!)
• Went through Catholic Initiation and was officially converted to Catholicism on Easter 2011.

I like to stay busy. So, here is a list of things to be accomplished in the next 337 days:
• Do a marathon.
• Get a promotion.
• Take a vacation with my mom.
• Fulfill my Maid of Honor duties (sigh).
• See K.
• Not turn 30 alone.
