My boy has gone away for nine months. That roughly works out to be about 38 weeks or 274 days with a whole lot of hours and minutes thrown in for fun too.
He has been deployed to Afghanistan and whilst I know that it is not
forever and that it's his job which he is 100% committed to, I am selfish and wish I could have him here with me, he is rather perfect. However the thought of using my bright orange typewriter and being able to send off brown wrapped parcels tied up with string is rather exciting and makes it slightly better.
When it is raining and you are lonely and your flannelet pajamas are pulled up high so you are tucked in nice and warm, there is nothing better than throwing yourself
into a new recipe. Add some delightfully beautiful music such as
Amiina's album Kurr and you will be immersed in the melancholy musings that is always brought on when a favourite person is away.

I love those songs that will always put you in a good mood no matter what. For me its bubblegum punk. I have only been introduced to The Spazzy's recently which is a shame as they haven't released anything new for a while but like Save Ferris and Letters to Cleo they will always be a guilty pleasure of mine. At heart I'm such a 90's kid. As well as very cheesy. Like cheesy-mite scrolls. Like mac and cheese. Comforting and full of goodness.
