...a myriad of songs I have deemed well suited for the company of lengthy treks home to one's lovely girlfriend after weeks and weeks of separation.With him I sent a box filled with Valentine themed packages, one for every week he would be gone [so he couldn't forget]. They contained homemade treats and store bought candies, each one stuffed with a little note to say I love you. I know, I know, I'm sure you're all becoming nauseated at the thought, at the cheese-factor of my antics.
Deal with it.
A glitch in [his] calculation of weeks, however left him one short for the duration of his stay. In those first off-balance moments of disappointment I resorted to my mental care-package haven of calm. How could I perfectly capture the essence of the last week...the drive home? It took some thought, and some initial deep breathing, but I managed to find a silver lining.
To him I sent:
- Redbulls for when the drive becomes inevitably tiresome.
- a McDonald's giftcard because ironically they have them, and the Golden Arches are plentiful at every edge of every interstate on the North American continent.
- a 30 song compilation entitled, Hurry Home, Love. [the double disc edition - see above.]
I'd like to say with pride that it's possible I am up for The Best Girlfriend on Earth nomination...just so you know, all of you other wonderful women, you've got heavy competition.
...but please enjoy the music mix anyway.

Wow, this is amazing! I suppose if there's any sort of good thing about your forced separation, maybe it's that you are so kind and gentle and thoughtful with each other.
