On moving forward.
Las Vegas was a party. Five nights of partying until 6 in the morning, coming home, crashing, sleeping for twelve hours and getting up to do it all over again. I can't remember the last time my lifestyle was so eighteen. It was memorable, to be sure. Especially the parts of the week when I wasn't intoxcated. Which was seldom.
Things with my lover are as smooth as can be. We sat in my jacuzzi tub talking for hours until all of the bubbles in the tub dissipated and we leaned forward to press our lips together. We found ourselves again. He was foreign to me at first. Las Vegas made me forget him, made me detach, made me someone else. The first time we had sex after I returned, I didn't know who I was holding or how our bodies fit so well or why we moved the way we did. It came back, though. Twenty-four hours later, we were sleeping together quietly and things were normal and adjusted and I was me and he was he. We're pretty infatuated with each other.
On everything that's changing in my life:
I was offered the job in Burlington. I accepted it. I formally resigned today from the City of Cambridge. I'm moving in with my lover at the end of the month. At least temporarily. We'll see how it works out. I'm quitting my volunteer stuff here in Waterloo. I'm moving away from my parents. I'm not going back to the Waterloo chapter of my Boot Camp. I won't be playing Ultimate Frisbee here again. I won't be seeing a lot of the people I know and love again for a long time.
On everything that I'm excited about in my life:
Moving in with the man I love. Moving to a new city. Kickstarting my career again and hoping to be more inspired and motivated. (Making more money? Oops.) Trying new challenges. Running along the waterfront. Meeting new people. Joining new volunteer organizations. My significant other offering to fly me out to Vancouver at the end of this month to use up the last of my paid vacation time from Cambridge. (Vancouver! At last!) Looking forward to a wonderful Christmas with the one I love. Falling even deeper in love with him.
