The little cat who was a lion who was a little cat who was a lion ...

The idea for this post came after I had seen the pictures EsMay published in her blog. Since I had a bad start into the week, by kissing hubby goodbye for the complete week ... :(((((... I thought something cheerful is in order now, after some self-pitying rambling from my side, that is.  :)

I mean, usually travelling now and then is part of hubby's job and I cope well. I have even been with him occasionally, so that we could have a few hours together. His travels are simply part of the hubby-package and I never had a real problem with that and could always focus on the time when he'd be back again.
But this time it really sucks that hubby is gone. I am needy, I know. This is not even one of the longer trips he has to do, but currently I feel it stronger than ever how much I want to be close to him. Somehow this had already started yesterday evening, after hubby's suitcase was packed. With everything prepared, everything looked so inevitable and irrevocable. But at least we had a few more hours together and that covered in a very nice way any unpleasant feeling of loss. :) For the record, this mad sexdrive of mine has not lessened at all. Maybe that adds to my confusion, though, it is not my primary concern in this very moment. And I have warned hubby before he left what might happen right after his return. ... Belly dancing :)

Early this morning, I had done some washing (a mere distraction) after hubby had left the house. And what did I do with his worn T-shirt? I inhaled it. It smelled so much like him and it gave me a meagre impression of him being here, so that I had stood there for several minutes doing nothing but breathing his smell in and burying my face into his T-shirt. It's only one silly week, but this time, I feel much stronger about him not being here. On the positive side, it is not more than  one week and he will be back again by next Monday. 

Yeah, bad intro to have something that cheers everybody up. Sorry for that, and you decide whether the entry that follows below is more positive or not. :)

What we are sometimes like:

Sometimes we are more like the lion from Oz

Sometimes we are just cute. Tired, but cute :)

But when we have to, we can also be like this

Once in a while (month) we feel like this

Then again we feel like this

But what we want is this

... to cheer up, I am going to have lunch with the girls

... but I'll also try to have a catnap

and I wish you all a very nice and pleasant start into the week :)
