CPs (college program slaves) get the worst hours, and the bus system is unreliably inconvenient. Just last weekend I worked one night until 4:15 am and the next night until 2:30. Combine that with the fact that I'm homesick, not sleeping well, and the world I left at home with Skyler seems to be slipping away, and you've got yourself a hot mess. Which pretty much describes what my hair looks like every day too.
It's not only hard for me, it's hard on everyone, and this last week we lost another roommate. Taylor (or teller as we would call her) went home on Thursday morning. She had injured herself at work, her mom was recovering from surgery, and she was miserable. Teller always made me laugh! It was hard to see her go and we miss her, her delightfully negative presence is obviously missing from our home, but I'm glad she's doing what makes her happy. And that she "learned how to kitchen" while she was here.
We (Taylor Amber and I) celebrated her leaving by going out to dinner Tuesday night at this awesome Irish pub in downtown Disney, tried to do the kitchen sink challenge at Beaches and Cream and failed miserably, and spent the night Wednesday night in magic kingdom. It was quite the send off, and now I'm not sure who will make me yaygels, but I'll have to survive.
Besides the stress, bug bites, poor phone service and toxic mold growing in my bathroom, I'm having a grand old time. I've been to food and wine at Epcot a couple times, went bowling at Splitsville, Chelsea and I went to the CHVRCHES concert which was so amazing!!! (Basically anything you do that isn't Disney related seems like the best thing ever.) Thursday night I bought a frequent fear pass for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios and went with some coworkers. We went through all 8 of the haunted houses in one night AND watched the rocky horror tribute. Since I'm a sucker for carnival games, so I won the creepiest chuckie doll I can scare Skyler with for the rest of forever.
Speaking of that boy, don't worry, we're doing good. Being apart is incredibly hard and I wouldn't wish this emptiness on anyone, but we have made it this far, and we can continue to make it. He's such an important part of my life and I can't wait for him to be here already so I can walk down Main Street USA and it will finally feel like the Happiest Place On Earth.
You know that saying "absence makes the heart grow fonder?" Well, I think I they got it wrong. Being away from the one you love makes your heart sick. You feel hollow and like you're perpetually hollowing, so of course once you're reunited you're going to feel like you love them more. But the reality is, your heart has just been warn down to a point of weakness you haven't known until now, which strengthens only your perspective. I know now more than ever that I'm the most at peace when I'm around my Skyler, and once this thing is over, I hope I never have to be away from that.
