The Importance of Being Idle

Surprise!

Just after midnight on Sunday night, my doorbell rang, and I answered it with some trepidation.
Who rings doorbells at that time of night?
My girlfriend, who I was talking to on the phone at the time, and who was pretending to be 40-odd miles away, that's who!
She'd taken Monday and Tuesday off work, and so she'd come down to spend them with me!
I had an amazing time, although I can't tell you a lot of what we did (not because it's not fit for publishing, but because we were just so chilled most of the time). We shopped a little, went to an awesome store called Lush for funky handmade bath products, and just generally poked about town. Then came home, and one thing lead to another until we'd taken my kitchen to pieces, cleaned every surface and thrown out the tons and tons of old, useless and generally out of date things that my kitchen was populated with. When we'd finished my kitchen was unnvervingly clean, and it was also no longer my kitchen, it was ours. This made me happy! Then she cooked us a lovely meal, and we chilled on the futon watching a movie.
Today we were up even later, had a yummy breakfast, and just spent a leisurely day enjoying each others company. This evening she cooked us another wonderful meal, we chilled and watched a movie and then she sadly had to leave!
It probably doesn't sound all that exciting, but that's because I don't think I can adequately describe how perfectly happy and serene I feel, I can't tell you how much I love her smile, or the mischievous sparkle in her eyes, how much her insanely long legs can turn me on, or how much I love to have her snuggled up against me. There's a thousand things I can't describe, and they're all amazing.
I am, I think it's almost needless to say, in love.
She's not goin' to be able to come down this Friday, cos she's promised to take her Mum out on the Saturday, so instead I'm going to drive down to hers and pick her up after she finishes work on Saturday night. Only four days to go! *grin*
In other almost as good news, I got a marketing call today from my bank and for some unknown reason, I didn't tell the guy to leave me alone... and he offered me money. Lots of money. Not for no reason, of course, but as a pre-aprroved loan, and also as an extension to my overdraft. These are Good Things, and I think I'm going to have to look into them. I know I'm looking for work and all, but in a lot of ways my success in that endeavour is not directly influenced by my effort, so its best to have a contingency plan, isn't it?
