My Weekday Boyfriend

So lately Tony has been working A LOT. It's not unusual for him to get home from work around 9 or sometimes even 10. At first I tried waiting for him to come home so we could eat together but then I started to binge on goldfish crackers and apples and peanut butter for 3 hours, and realized this was probably not healthy. It's taken a while but I finally got into a groove and have this funny little weekday routine down. I wouldn't say it's ideal, because it's not at all, it's hard not spend any quality time with your significant other during the weekdays which is why I've started to to refer to Mo as my "weekday boyfriend." So my weekday usually consists of this:

I get home to find Mo happily waiting for me by the door ( I swear this animal is a dog trapped inside a cats body), I feed him, fumble through the mail which usually consists of bills and weird home craft magazines from the tenant before us. After this, I make dinner and make a plate for myself then a plate for Tony and cover it with foil and stick in the fridge. From there I eat dinner and catch up on all my girlie netflix Tony would never want to watch with my weekday boyfriend. After Mo and I get some good quality snuggle time in, I take a bubble bath to the tune of Ella Fitzgerald and then clime into bed and read my book. About this time.. Tony comes home and just starts to decompress from his 12 hour day right as I've fully forgotten the woes of my workday.

I know all this cat talk sounds a little bonkers .. trust me.. many times I imagine myself in 50 years, wandering around an old house filled with nick knacks and cats in every nook and cranny and when people come over I introduce the cats as my "boyfriends" and I get a little scared for my future. And if that ever happens to me I hope someone is kind enough to check me into cat rehab, but for now I have to say my weekday boyfriend is a great companion, chick flick buddy and dinner date and he'll have to hold me over until my hubby can find a job that doesn't require slave labor hours.
