I've got a broken tooth!
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, un huh, oooh! Still doesn't hurt, just bugs a lot. I've never looked forward to going to the dentist so much.
Met up with Bruce at the North Omaha DMV yesterday afternoon. It had been a couple weeks since we'd seen each other or even communicated much so we were animatedly talking in line while waiting our turn. When it was, Bruce explained that we wanted to change the Honda title to my name only.
DMV: "Are you selling her the car?"
B: "No. But I can if I need to - for $1.00."
N: "I have a dollar! Or I can buy you a lottery ticket - it's potentially worth more."
The lady seemed confused as to our intent so Bruce explained that we were in process of divorcing and the car was part of the settlement.
DMV: "You don't seem like ... I never would have guessed ... well, anyway, okay."
The Geo continues to run and functions as Bruce's primary transportation though he now has to enter the vehicle through the passenger side. At least we're able to laugh about it.
Afterwards I went to the house to visit the dogs and they were ecstatic to see me. June 14th marks Megan's one year adoption anniversary so I gave Bruce a PetSmart gift card from "The Little Brat" herself to buy some treats and/or help out with pet food expenses. Science Diet ain't cheap, you know. Also got to test out the "kids & pets" function on the new camera. Pictures to follow, hopefully, when I break the learning curve on that.
Bruce made extra spaghetti so I stayed for dinner. Far from being weird, it just seemed like old times. The tension, the awkwardness, and even much of the sadness seems to have disappeared with the most difficult part behind us. I guess the strangest thing is feeling like a guest in a house that I lived in for 13 years though technically I am now.
Aside from the long and unusual hours at his new job, he seems to be enjoying the work and excelling at it which doesn't surprise me. He's very intelligent, makes friends easily, has loads of tact and is very task-oriented. It's kind of funny now that we're not together, I can see his good qualities so much clearer. I also realize how much he taught me over the years without my consciously realizing it, like driving on the interstate. Hopefully I have done the same for him like when I fixed his iPod/iTunes synchronization after dinner and tried to show him how to create smart playlists (not interested). I doubt that he's seeing anyone between the dogs and the crazy work schedule but I'd be glad if he were - he deserves to be happy, too. Unsure whether he knows that I am dating someone or who; if not, it's only a matter of time. Anyway, I'm glad that things have gone as smoothly as they have thus far and that's largely due to the nature of our relationship.
