Today marks 8 years of marriage for Alicia and I. Normally anniversaries have been exciting and a bit stressful(trying to make them special and normally failing) but expectedly it’s a completely different experience when you are separated. I have felt a lot of stress this past week as today approached and even took the day off of work because I thought I wouldn’t function properly today.
But today has been anti-climactic. I didn’t really sleep in and I have not had any breakdowns. I got up and ate a smoothie for breakfast and did some pilates(my normal morning routine these days) and I’ve done chores. I have been sad but that was/is expected. I don’t really have plans for the rest of the day other than some more chores and seeing if I can pamper my knee into letting me play in our soccer game tonight. Overall, an anniversary to forget.
