First things first. Mark moves out, Dagny moves in. There's nothing I like more than things to be placed neatly in the right places. It gets a little crowded when Marks home in terms of storage. I take up two big closets and a chest of drawers. That leaves one closet and chest of drawers for Mark, Dagny, and linen to share. So hours after Mark left, I got busy folding and stacking. I could breathe a little easier when I opened these closet doors.
Second, clean. With Mark, went Abby. As sad and a little less protected as I feel, I will never give up my dog hairless wood floors again. For the first time, I was able to sit down with a glass of wine and enjoy the fact that my floors still sparkled. I cleaned up everything else and rearranged paintings, my coffee table, photos, kitchen appliances and the bathrooms.
Next, buy flowers. Lots of them and place them everywhere around the house. It's makes things happier and prettier.
Buy a new bedspread, I think It speaks for itself. But don't change Mark's pillow cases yet. His handsome smell will linger for weeks.
Spend the weekend with your family and drink lots of mimosas.
Let Dagny sleep with you so you wake up to this:
Plan for the next time we see Mark, and every other visit this year.
What's not pictured are cereal dinners and wine filled glasses that made up my evenings. It's a lot harder to prepare dinner when you get home at 8 and get to spend time with your baby you haven't seen in 13 hours before she goes to sleep. The rest of the time we are FaceTiming Mark.
