||Day Forty-Nine||
Today I said goodbye to my boyfriend, once again.
Though the time we spend together is always well spent, it is never enough.

After Jake left, I had the apartment to myself. Which was nice, for a while. And then it got lonely. It seemed empty and almost unnerving. I guess that's the problem with not having an agenda; you have too much time to yourself and too much time in your own mind.
To help pass the time, however, I decided to re-hang the string of lights we have in our living room. We had originally hung them up with command hooks, but over time they lost their stick and gradually came off the wall. Since my success at hanging pictures, I thought I might try hanging them with nails (even though it'd be a pain to spackle the holes whenever we move out). So I started by hammering in a few nails until I was almost sure that the neighbors were banging on the walls in retaliation. But, I can never be too sure with them. Either way, I stopped and decided to use tape for the time being. That way, later on, I can go back and use nails or hooks or whatever I please.
To wind down my evening I decided to do some reading on the balcony (which frankly, goes way underused). I've started reading "We Were Liars" by E. Lockhart, and I'm loving it. Like the past two books I've read (Please Ignore Vera Dietz and Reality Boy, both by A.S. King), this book is made up of many short chapters as opposed to fewer long ones. And it's broken up into "parts", which somehow also seems to make the book go quicker.
At last, I was forced to face the reality of an empty bed. Somehow this is one of the worst parts, to me, about dating long distance. Falling asleep alone is just not the same.
All in all it was a fairly typical day. Typical post-boyfriend-visit blues.
Now to start planning my next trip to see him. I do love Wisconsin in the summer.
