I haven't had a day off like this in a while. I woke up to the sun's warmth on my face shining through the curtains... my alarm clock slept in with me this time, thank goodness. Matt and I took a drive and had yum cha for breakfast out in the suburbs. I love shared meals. No individual plates of you having what you want and me having what I want - what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine - ours. The loving gesture of scooping a heaped spoon of fried rice into Matt's bowl or picking up siu mai with my chopsticks and placing it on his plate - always reciprocated with a gentle smile and him doing the same for me. As inefficient and clumsily redundant as it all plays out, I hope we never end up like the older couple where the husband sits there with his paper and coffee oblivious to his wife's struggle to calm their distressed baby.
Super Mario on the wii and an episode of 'The Office' later the sun begins to set; marking the beginning of me missing time together with him throughout the coming week :(
