Mood: Tired, but content, and yet slightly restless.
Music: None today ... just whatever is playing in the my head at the odd moment. :)
I don't feel too much like writing at the moment, but if I don't write something soon, Lavender is going to come over and smack me around ...
Wait ... She can't. Hmm ... No, she might send somebody scarier ...
Get better soon, Lavender. Really.
So ... some big things have happened. I moved into a new place on the 13th. It's been very nice to be able to have my own place. Mom took up residence shortly after, which was a bit disappointing, since I was expecting some time to myself. Alone time, with some quietness, was needed to help myself focus, to center myself, so that I could deal with my mother calmly. I didn't get it. It took a lot of energy to exert some control over my emotions, and my reactions. Sometimes I slipped. I just took a deep breath and tried again. It's unfortunate that my mother and I do no wander on the same wavelength. Not even remotely. For one thing, it's a family joke that my mother is colour blind. Some of her colour choices are a bit odd. It's not to say that she is without taste, but we definitely prefer different ... flavours.
Decorating is going to interesting. Hmm ...
Well, she comes back with her stuff mid week ... we'll see what happens. Meanwhile I have to have my own things unpacked and settled. Out of the way. Making some good headway so far. Tomorrow I'll get some more done. Hoping to visit Lavender a bit on Wednesday, but I haven't had a chance to talk with her yet. I'll text her when I wake up. I need to get a phone number, or an e-mail, from her ...
Spot handled the move quite well. He called for about an hour and when he didn't get any answer except me ... wow ... such joy. It was just us again, and he was so happy. Poor little sod. LOL!
Had a date last night, and things went very well. I find myself in beginnings of a true adult relationship for the first time, and it stuns me with the pleasure of it. Makes me wonder how much I've grown in the past couple years. And how much my scars show. Anyway, I'm going to let it ride and see what happens. In the meantime, I plan on buying a bed. :) With new pillows too.
So, new place, new relationship, new bed, new life ... New year.
Sweet dreams ... <3
