So many great changes since my last update. Johnson City, NY!!! Wow, it is so great to be out in the world in a place that is great and with the man I love. It sounds so cheesy, but it is great. Everything is, even the conflicts we have. We have never had this type of conflict before...about where to keep they potatoes, where things go, where things won't go. Its like an injection of pure passion into the jugular of our relationship. It is such an intoxicating flare of emotion. Yet we are settling down and the place is really starting to come along.
I started reading The Catcher in the Rye. I really don't know how I feel about it. Some part of me clings to the terrific descriptions of society while another part of me gets sick of all the bitching. Mike's sister told me that it is suppose to be letters written from a guy in a mental institution. I can see that, but it never actually says anything like that in the work itself. Anyway, for what it is worth...I am reading what I want to read when I want to read it. How wonderful.
I really feel far away, but I am not. We will make the drive frequently. Me to Altoona, Mike to SC. But this will be my home soon. I will be in the community soon. I will find a church, a yoga club, a place to throw pottery. My new home is beautiful.
