2 Years
John and I celebrated our two year anniversary two weeks ago. I didn't think to mention it on here because I was in the midst of taking care of several other things. Since our anniversary fell on a Wednesday, we didn't do much celebrating, but we're going out tomorrow night for Valentine's Day instead.
If you think about it, two years is a pretty long time in terms of a relationship. Many relationships don't last past the first year. George W. and Laura had only been together for three months before they were married. Yet, John and I have been together for two years, and at the current time, it's only legal for us to get married in one state.
I think that's one of the reasons that the ruling from the New York courts made me so happy: John and I might be able to marry in the semi-near future - though we don't have any plans, yet. So don't jump to conclusions and think I'm implying that either of us has popped the question or anything. I'm just saying that it's an encouraging thought, especially considering how far we've come together. And that's also considering the bleak outlook everyone else had for us when we started dating from four states apart.

I talked to Bill last week and told him about Chilis. He suggested that I just keep calling Chilis back until there's a position open and I'm hired. It's a solid plan, especially considering that the alternative is to try to find a job in a retail outlet in the mall. Considering my feelings about working retail again, I'll opt to bug the shit out of Chilis first.

My writing has slowed down considerably in the past two weeks. It would be nice if I could feel motivated again to put words to paper. It seems that every time I go to sit down and write, I spend three hours staring at the screen without a single good idea running through my head. It may have a lot to do with the weather and the season. Winter is never a good time for me, and being as bleak as it is, my thoughts seem to run in parallel to my surroundings. I'll probably go stare at the screen in a little while, but I'd like to get a good night's rest tonight. My sleep has been restless lately, though I don't know why. Hopefully that will change soon.
