kyburg | Sunday Night

Not nearly enough time. Jim's at work - and he'll be off for two days after this, and on both days next weekend.

This messes me up as much as it does him. Ah, it's a part of working in hospitals and we both know the drill well. We're both nurse's kids - and I have the extra fillip of having a pharmacist father, a social worker sister. It's all in the family.

This weekend marks two years since the two of us, with

silverkun and

varna stood on a beautiful beach in Waikoloa at sunset and exchanged vows, rings, leis and very painful shoe stories. Did I know we'd end up here, two years later? Not a chance. The one thing I do know - I couldn't imagine it without him. I also have two cats in my life I wouldn't have. I play more games. I take things a bit slower. I stress less.

I have a sounding board, a place to check my work and a willing compatriot in playing pranks. Not to mention a nice, warm, snuggly every night. Need more of that, I think. I did mention there wasn't enough time today, right?

I love the way his eyes are so blue, they're the first thing you see in color when the light is poor. He can have an entire conversation - he does all the voices, too - with the television set. I love the fact he finds the best music without caring who did it. Neither of us are hip when it comes to that, I fear. I'm working on it - he just goes into the music store and picks something out of the air.

We live comfortably together, without stressing each other out. We flipped a coin for the dishes last night and he didn't even ask me for a best out of 3 when he lost. He did the lawns today and didn't quibble with me over the laundry. I'm trying to think of the last time he did anything to worry me or piss me off and I can't come up with anything. If there's been anything, it's been external -

If it ends up only being the two of us, he'll be plenty. I knew that when I met him.

So many other things have changed, fallen by the wayside or morphed into something unrecognizable in two years. I'm aware of the time passing, but he hasn't changed.

What did I get him for his anniversary present? The "boom stick" edition of Army of Darkness. Do I rock or not?

In other news, I have seven jars of lovely guava jelly on the counter in the kitchen and the dishes are all done.

I'm done for the night. I'm having the last of the Suntory, maybe some of the rum

nytshaed left me and going to look at the new Haibane Renmei DVD again.

Good night.
