Day 1.

两地分居的日子

(July 30, 2007)

 

Today is Monday, and this Wednesday is my first day of work. Last night, I slept better than the first two nights, but I begin to feel the mattress and the pillows are not that very comfortable comparing with mine in the city C. Maybe because in the first two nights, my darling was on my side, I did not feel too much about other things. Another reason is those stuff in my home are chosen by my husband and I, which has sweet meaning for me.

 

When I have nothing to do, I begin to miss my husband. In the past 5 years, we also everyday, every mins were together. Let me tell you why and how it happened. After we landed in Canada, we decided to go the university, since at that time we were young. We were in the same department in our undergraduate study with a slight different specialization. We only had 6 different courses in these 3 years, others courses were all same. Ha, my darling always says I copied his assignment. In fact, it is not exactly true, and most of time I just compared and checked his assignment with mine. In another two years graduate study, we were in the same major, but in the different department, since this major is a collaborated program by two departments. His is better than mine, since he was in the medical school and two years program. I was in the one year program. After I graduated from my department, I began to work in his department for his supervisor for around one year until my husband graduated from his program. See there are total five years, we were studying and working very very closer. We kept the same schedule in the class, lunch, dinner, studying in the library or in the office. Oh, these are amazing five years, which is the proof for us loving, living, and progress. That is also the biggest reason I need thank for my husband.

 

Now, the current situation is not the best, but it is already not bad. At least we can meet each other at least once a moth, possible once a week in good weather.

 

This morning, my roommate’s friend Diana came to my home and planed to cook Chinese food with us. So I keep busying to select and wash vegetable in the last two hours. That is not bad, and makes me not only think of my darling. I think in this week, we maybe can use internet. Now it is 13.07, in the afternoon, my darling will do a presentation for his research group at around 14.00. I wish his everything goes well. 

 

Yesterday afternoon, I found a way to solve my lonely feeling – watching TV. Even I do not want to do that, but whatever it is a good way rather than thinking and tearing. Ok, it is enough for now, and I will watch TV series again. After while, for sure Diana will come again to continue making and steaming stuffed bun (包子).

 

I will call my husband tonight after 9.00, using my roommate’s cell phone. Talk to him then!

 

At 23.33, I am going to bed! I did a great talk with my husband tonight. We talked about his daily work and my living today. It is really warm. Good night my darling and me!!
