moved in

As I’m writing this I’m looking out the window at a great Midwestern storm. I just sat out on the balcony for a few minutes watching lightning and listening to thunder with Jeff when we began to get rained upon. There is something extremely romantic about watching a rainstorm with the one you love but our enjoyment was short lived as my clothing began to dampen.

My first few days in Kansas City have been relatively uneventful, but enjoyable. After a few days in Minnesota, I was welcoming the opportunity to get into a routine. I had forgotten that it was a holiday weekend and normalcy will not abound this week. Or next week. Or the week after. It will take me a while to find my “new normal” I think. Probably a few months. I don’t think I achieved what I would call a normal routine in New Jersey for over a year. It took a while to learn the area, etc. At least this time I have a head start and some help. It’s been so great spending every day of the last week with Jeff and knowing that I don’t have to rush off to do things for school or head to the airport in a few days. Still a lot of adjusting to do but it’s been great so far.

I’ve been “staying with” Jeff as opposed to “living with” Jeff. I will only be here two weeks until I return to Minnesota for a benefit for L and some time with the family. I’m hoping that the family time will be long and enjoyable as opposed to short lived and stressful so I can get back down south to find a job. In other words, I hope I find a job within the next few weeks. In the end of August I anticipate that I will no longer be “staying with” Jeff and that he will have moved to his mother’s so that we can go about things the “right way” as many in older generations would say. I have no problem with doing things the “right way,” I just wish that the “right way” was the “cheap way” and I’m anxious to see where things are heading in the next few weeks.

I have missed my D-Land friends and came back to find out that my D-Land friends have moved on to other places. While I understand their reasoning fully, I hope that they don’t forget about me here on free D-Land, or maybe Christopias will need to help me figure out how to do a different site or make one of my own or something. I guess now that I have my dear fiancé at my beck and call he could probably help me too.

Well, I’ve cabinets to organize and Harry Potter to read, so I better get going. PLEASE leave me a comment!!
