So, last night it finally hit me that I really miss Andrew. It didn’t even take a week. Last night, I had a lot of work to do, so I kept my Skype open and waited while I worked. At about 11ish or so, Matt told me that all the Internet cafes were closed in Irkutsk on Sundays (Andrew is 14 hours ahead, so it was Sunday there). And just like that, my heart sank like a ship. It really shouldn’t have made me sad. It’s just one day, and I’ll get on Skype tonight and try again. And then, I got a text:
“HeyDearIcouldNotGet2web2dayImissUveryMuchItIsSoColdHereIwillBonWeb2morro@afterMidNiteUrTime.
loveUDear&IThinkAboutYouAllTheTime.telleveryoneThatIAmColdButFine.love”
Just like that, without any spaces. I have no idea what the hell kind of a phone he’s using that it won’t let him space words, but it made me laugh, and then it made me incredibly sad. So, yeah, that has been the extent of my communication with him. It was -25 C there yesterday, and I am sick with worry that he’s going to freeze– and apparently from that text message, he’s very cold.
I got a similar no spaces SMS when he sent me his mobile number. Weird!
Hang in there!
Andrew is just saving time. He is not just frugal with money.
