That’s what’s on Dawg’s desk. How do I know? Because I’m sitting at it, typing to you. And when I look over to my left I see a shitload of my stuff that I brought down here so that I can live here temporarily while we look for a place of our own.
As expected, leaving the cats wrecked me. I can’t think about it for too long without bursting into tears. I left my kids at home. I left them in capable hands, but they’re not Dawg’s and my hands, which is where I want them to be. Incentive to hurry the hell up and find a place to live.
Also, saying goodbye to EZA and LLA was painful, but… it really hurt much worse when Break Boy and HLW said goodbye to me. Break Boy and I have years 6-8 then years 18-34 together. HLW and I have my years 14-34 (her years 15-35) together. These are lifelong friends. And I just left them. And now my eyes are all wet. No wonder I have such a splitting headache.
I totally forgot to say goodbye to PiC yesterday. I feel bad about that, after all he did for me to send me off right. But… what would we have done? Given an uncomfortable “see ya” hug? When I crossed into Connecticut this morning, my first time ever being there, I was reminded again by his birthplace that I forgot to say goodbye to him. Sorry… I’ll make it up to you in the future by babysitting Too Legit and Nigel because, um, I’m just in the next state over, it’s really not that far. Just gimme 7+ hours notice, kthxBAI. (Peee Essss - Thanks for not letting anyone sing at me.)
I just had Chinese food with Dawg’s parents. They love me. Life is very good.
Life will be made better when Dawg gets home from work tonight and slips into (hee, our… ok, ok, HIS bed but I get to sleep there EVERY NIGHT NOW, wheeeeee!) bed next to me, and of course a little later on when the girls can join us in that bed in our new home together, but I’m hardly complaining. Everything feels amazingly right, as I never doubted it would.



Oooooohhhh… Chinese… I hope there are leftovers!!!
There are leftovers! Even rice!
I feel your happiness all the way down here. Or is that gas?
Well, they say home is where the heart is. I’m thrilled that you and Dawg found your way to each other. You have your figurative home. I hope you find your literal one soon too.
We had Chinese food for dinner tonight! Yum!
I’m so happy that you made it safely and all is well. I’m sorry that you had to leave the girls but you’ll all be together soon.
Now I’m craving Chinese food. Thanks a lot.
I’m glad all is well & you’re happy but I understand you missing your babies. I hope you find an apartment soon!
Hope the Excedrin worked. Glad everything is working out and I know you guys will find a place soon.
Woo Hoo! You moved!! I don’t know whether I should be sad for you for leaving the girls, or extremely happy for you (and Dawg) for finally getting to be together every day….fuck it. I am happy for you!
I had to leave my daughter for a month when I moved to Vegas - I cried so hard I thought my heart would break for reals…
it didn’t.
You’ll have your furbabies back soon, and lifelong friends are just that. LIFE.LONG.
((HUGS)) and
Aww, so cute. Yay!
The trade of life circumstances seems profitable. Good emotional business, that.
Now, tell me more about those ninja…
i love that every night you can lay down next to dawg. something so wonderful and comforting about being able to roll over and touch the man that captured your heart.
fingers, legs, eyes and toes crossed that you quickly find the perfect apartment…
Yay! The move is accomplished! Make sure you don’t stumble running down the hill!
Seriously though. I swear I can feel the good vibes from down here and I can totally imagine you all glowy and bopping around right now.
Just make sure you get some actual ’sleep’ sometime this week.
Poppy,
I have never left you a comment but I have been reading yours and Dawgs blogs for over a year. I am very happy for the two of you(plus the furry babies and the ninjas). Building a home with the one that you love is the greatest thing ever. I am so happy for you because finding “the one” is so much better than anything in the world. I hope the two of you will forever live in that happiness glow forever.
Yay for Poppy and Dawg and all the snuggly happiness. You two really are such a cute couple.
I hope the furry babies will be with you soon.
J.
I am so happy for you girl! (and a tinnnyyy bit envious but in a good way
)
Yay for Poppy & Dawg! BTW, Chinese food is best eaten at midnight, in bed, with the one you love!
I’m so happy for the two of you. I know it’s hard to be without the fur babies.
Yum on Chinese food and eating in bed with your love.
And YAY to being able to say ‘hi’ whenever you want;-)
Congrats to PoppyDawg!
