• Moving Sucks.

   

   

  First...Autmn.  I'm a sucky friend.  I'm sorry I didn't call you back.  My mom was in town, and we were moving, and it was insane.  INSANE.  It still is, but less now.  August 1st, I'll be done with the apartment, and able to start our Tuesdays or Wednesdays again.  And I want to make you Lubea (or however you spell it) because it's yummy.

  Okay..so.  Moving. Sucks.  We decided to NOT uhaul it.  Because it was just too...cliche.  So instead, we borrowed a truck to get all the big stuff over to the house.  And then we just boxed everything else up.  P.S.  I have a lot of shit.  I mean, a LOT.  I threw away so much, gave away even more.  Including my couches, TV, EVERYTHING.  It is freeing somehow.  Scary, though.  I mean, I worked really *really* hard to create a home for my kids and myself.  And now I'm starting over, with someone else.  When I was with Rachel..she "lived" with me, but all her stuff was still at her place in Seattle.  So it wasn't a huge adjustment for me.  But moving in with someone, with the kids, all our stuff, everything...is a big ass deal.  And it's a lot of work.  Our living room looks like a bomb went off with all the boxes.  But the kids rooms look rad. We gave them the two big rooms upstairs, and took the small room downstairs, so they'd have a whole floor to themselves.  They love it. LOVE it.  And so do I.  I'll love it more when we're all settled, and things are in their places...but I love it none the less.  Amy works so hard at reassuring me that this is the right move.  At reminding me she's 'all in'.  That this is for real, and for keeps.  I'm really lucky.  I feel really lucky.  And that's nice.

  And it looks like I may get a promotion.  To a lease up property in Seattle.  Big deal.  More money.  Career advancement.  Doesn't suck.  All these amazing changes...weight loss, amazing girl, promotion..I'm not sure what to do with all this good fortune.  It makes me a little scared.  And a lot anxious.  I heart xanax sometimes, let me tell you.

  That being said, I'm still in love with my life.  It's quiet at work today, and I spent last night in Tacoma with some great people.  (Even though Tacoma gay bars are weird).  I do wish I was at home right now, still asleep...but I guess I can't have it all.

  I hope everyone who randomly reads this is well. 

   

  Love love.

   

  Here's a recentish picture of all of us.
