After Wilma
Tonight is the second night this week that Joy has been in Gainesville while I am stuck here in Orlando without her. She keeps calling me to ask if I miss her yet, and I do. She is lucky though, she’s got all our friends up there with her to keep her company. In fact, two of them are staying with her in her hotel tonight.
Joy is up in Gainesville doing her job and searching for a new apartment for us during her off hours. Her company is paying for a few nights stay in a decent hotel up in Gainesville, so that makes her week kind of fun for her.
It’s 2AM and I am tired, but I have a lot of disjointed things I want to say, so here it is in list-form, because that is how my mind seems to work…
–Joy left for Gainesville when Hurricane Wilma was barely gone from Florida. Ever since she left it has been really cold here in Orlando. I am a true Florida-boy and I hate the cold. I know that it is just SIXTY degrees farenheit, but I am cold!
–Last night I had a hard time going to sleep. It was cold in the apartment. Joy turned off the A/C when she left and I haven’t bothered to turn on the heater or the A/C since then because it has basically been in the 60s and 70s outside since she left. Joy is a little furnace when she sleeps and that made it hard for me to get a good night of sleep during the first few months of marriage. However, now that I am used to sleeping with her, I am having a hard time sleeping without her. This was predicted.
–Joy, being the furnace that she is when she sleeps AND having the sunny dispostion that she has, is dully missed. I feel like her absense caused the cold. Everywhere I go I am cold, and I feel like it will be warmer again this weekend when I am with her again. This is probably all in my head, but it’s lodged in there pretty good now.
–Joy and I are moving to Gainesville the week between Christmas and New Years. This is a week that Joy has off from her job for some reason, and I have the 26th off because Christmas is on a Sunday this year. So, I am planning to do the larger part of the move on the 26th of December. We are wanting to find an apartment by then because it is exactly two months away.
–I am really excited about moving back to Gainesville!

I’m not the romance type, but I thought that was really cute that you miss her and are cold without her. I’m sure she’ll love to know that.
*snaps out of it*
I’m excited that you’re coming up on Friday. We’ll have a weekend of fun and games!
Sorry it’s cold man, all i gotta say is you’d better plan on staying in Florida, I hear it’s much colder in other places.
Funny how we miss things when they are gone but complain about them when we have them. I do that a lot. (I’m not saying that you do, it’s more of a general thought)
If you guys need helping moving to Gainesville, I don’t think I’m visiting my dad his Christmas, so I might be free to help with packing and moving.
Love ya,
JB
