All is Well, and Strange to Be Home

Seriously. It's just strange. To be back here in Santa Monica and not be traveling between Culver City and my place. I am slightly disoriented. I am so used to being near Rob in so many of my activities, even though we don't necessarily interact that much while we are together. Having him near makes everything different though. I miss him very much and a part of me is strangely relieved.....the tension of the pending separation in the past few weeks had just been huge and was almost more than I could bear. In a way, as much as I miss Rob, (and I DO MISS HIM SO MUCH), it's relieving to know that I don't have to be afraid of him leaving anymore. He's left, and I miss him. Things are well.

So, just restless today and trying to get settled in. I went and got an oil change, took my car for a wash and waxing, deposited my student loan check, came home and cooked. Helped out my new roommate, the 19 year old girl from TW, to understand US educational system more (hard to shake the women's advocate tendency in fostering independent living skills.) Talked to Mavis on the phone about love, sex, and aging. Now getting ready for bed to get some beauty sleep so I can handle the next three days: I have intake duty at the center and need to wrap up a major report for work. While everything is happily celebrating Labor Day weekend, I will be working some major overtime.

At the same time, things are going rather well again. My horoscope for the month predicted that this would be a month full of rapid transitions, up one day and down another, and so far it's qutie on target: I got bad news about scheduling in the beginning of the week, and by Thursday I was able to speak to all parties involved and got permission from all of them to switch my schedule the way i want. It's awesome. Just riding the waves, having fun, living life.

Peace out, y'all, from this corner of the world.
