Today Today Today!!!

The three weeks are up as of today. The three weeks of what you might ask? The three weeks apart. Between my week+ business trip and his 2 weeks of duty, we haven't seen each other in 3 weeks! It's the longest we've gone apart.

My first week away was like any business trip - because - it was a standard trip. Well, more than standard, it was like 3 trips crammed into one, but I was doing my hotel & travel thing. Which I still like to do. But when I got home, it was to an empty house. Just me and the snakes. That was a little strange. My living situation is all mixed up in my mind - or it was. I wasn't ready to admit to myself that I moved out of my house. (Gee - same thing that happened in Berkeley.) And I half-way thought about moving back in.

I thought it would be fun to be back in the house. Maybe try to have the previous kind of experience when I Gloria and I lived together last year. We really had such a good time, talking and sharing ideas and living together. Well, this year has been the 180 experience for both of us. Neither of us have spent much time in the future, for our own reasons.

But, I just never ended up going back over there. And I was fine with that.

So now is the challenge to resolve the future - while living in the present. Which reminds me of a quote I was thinking about at Blogher - in the future, everyone will live in the present. I know most people won't find this as amusing as I will - but I can't help it. The Future holds so many puns for me.

Anyway, in a few short hours, the boyfriend will be home. I'm excited and can't wait for him to be back... but I'm not dying without him in my life. I missed him a lot, but I've also gotten back into the habit of living alone.

I've had a lot of time to read books and remember what it was like when I first moved to LA before I had physical friends in the city. And what it was like to go out and experience the world. And also, to do exactly what I wanted, when I wanted.

Anyway, I'm happy he's coming back. And I'm happy to live with someone. And most of all, I'm pretty happy with everything in my life.
