Suddenly *Not So* Single Journey

I’m out…in a good way…

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I wrote a post before about being out.  Some of you may remember it.  And it was a sad day, a day I struggled to find hope.

This time, I’m out of the apartment, which of course, is not the same as saying I’m settled in back at HIS house.  We have all of today to make that happen.  And it probably will take all of today.  I have…a lot of stuff.

As for how yesterday turned out…well, we hired some carpet guys.  They did an amazing job.  It took way longer than anticipated, but so be it.  In fact, everything about yesterday took longer than it should have.  At every turn, something went wrong…but never between us.  We were on the same page, so together, same as always in a crisis.

We worked, literally, from sun up to sun down.  Nonstop.  I dug deep.  And so did he.

The renters ran into some trouble and showed up too late to sign papers at the office yesterday, so we have to do that today.  They love the apartment, despite the fact that the vacuum overheated after cleaning only half the apartment and I ended up carpet sweeping the rest of the place.

I made some money off of the couch.  It went directly into the wedding fund.  At least that’s what I’m calling it.  And there will be more money today from the washer and dryer.  The fund grows.

At seven last night, we stopped.  We had moved enough to reclaim the living room, and decided we deserved to relax.  Ed hung out for a while.  And we all had a drink.  HE made the best toast ever.

HIM: To a happy homecoming.

Ahhh.  And it was.  Ed left around 8:30pm and we were snuggled into the lounge chair and were asleep soon after 9pm.  I’m not sure when we woke up and made it to  bed, but I had the best rest ever, cuddled between my man and our dog.

I like ending the month on a high note.  Spring is coming.  It’s one of my favorite seasons, although I do seem to find something I like about every season.  Season is a time of renewal.  A time of hope.  There’s something magical about watching the earth come alive, the grass greening, the trees budding and flowers blooming.  It’s hard not to be happy when the sun comes out in full force, warming the earth and making so many positive changes.  It’s a season for positive changes in all of us, too.

May you find something to be positive about.  May you find your happy place.  And may you not only embrace changes, but make some good ones in your life.
