Valentine's day update
Okay, time to eat my words from my previous entry:
Love *did* hit me over the head, goddammit. Snuck up slowly and steadily, and here I am. Smitten. He's just... the most solid guy I've ever met. Funny. Honest. Geeky. Not easily embarrassed. Upfront. Kind. Sweet. Trustworthy. Cute. Affectionate. Jeez. What happened to all the cynicism? It's gone gone gone. So are all the online profiles. I'm still done dating. But I'm *not* done with Rusty.
And, right on cue, I got a call from Kitka, whom I'd asked a few weeks earlier if I was still "in" if I wanted to be. (How could I know that I'd meet a guy right then??) No openings yet, but maybe soon, and I should make another demo. So what, I'm considering the possibility of relocating to the Bay Area again?? I have to. It's something I've wanted forever, somehow. And now there are some other things to consider.
I also have to move -- next month. My apartment is being renovated, and I need to vacate. The new apartments have a new paint job (warm beige), new carpet, new appliances (not top of the line), and are a good chunk more expensive. Nothing useful, like better insulation (single pane windows, ugh!)... I checked out a 1-br today, that would still be a rent increase for me for considerable less space, and a sloppy paint job -- not worth it! I'll need to go apartment hunting again. Ugh.
And the job? I hope to find out tomorrow. If I don't get the job offer I've been promised, I'm looking elsewhere. With the impending move, I need some income.
So: lots of changes! Somehow, I think, all good ones (though I'll be most happy when the move is over).
