Day 33 of San Diego

Mason left today. This time, he left in the evening. I spent most of the day with him before he had to hop on a plane. We watched Markiplier to lift our spirits. But once the time came to say goodbye to everyone and pack everything up, things became depressing...

I guess I can safely say I'm finally getting used to Mason departing. Mom says I'm getting used to it because I'm used to her leaving for business trips. It's true. When my mom started her current job, and she began traveling a lot, I thought her job was the worst. I'm close to my mom. While she's far away, it seems like crap hits the fan with my emotions.

I know I have a ways to go to the point where Mason coming home for a bit until leaving again feels like an every day activity, yet I'm happy I'm not bawling uncontrollably. Hell, I'll tear up. It would be inhuman of me to not for someone I deeply love. But... right now, at least... I don't feel alone. I don't really feel empty. I think my brain realizes that Mason will be back soon. Shoot, it's crazy enough to say, "HAPPY 2014!" Where did 2013 go? Must've gotten up to 88 MPH and zoomed into the past as fast as it could. Sheesh.

Hey, the more time flies by, the less time I have to deal with Mason in the military.

However, once he's out, time can go as leisurely by as it wants to.

How was everyone's New Years? Did you get a special kiss from that special someone?

I did. :)

Mason and I watched the Space Needle count down to midnight over the television. When midnight struck, we kissed like it was nobody's business.

Thank God the parents weren't in the room.

;)

We watched the Space Needle shoot off fireworks for a while. But we turned it off once we noticed the smoke wasn't going to clear and the fog was too dense.

Oh well. More years to come.

HAPPY 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
