A Day of Change

Im sitting in the new king size select comfort bed in the loft of the new house on the night of my last day at the only 'real' job I have ever had.

Its kind of scary. Kind of really scary.

Listening to My Chemical Romance this evening. Justin is in the shower. The dogs are asleep on the porch and Vegeta is still at JMs house.

One of my faults is wanting to plan too much. Clearly I did not plan the fall of 2006 very well. Finishing the house, changing jobs, starting community band, and meeting new people is borderline too much.

I was just looking at my calendar for November and December. The month of travel is just around the corner. Trip with SJ & Hannah, ATL for Death Cab, New Orleans for Turkey Day, Norfolk for Jeremy/MCR, San Fransico for football. 5 straight weekends where I will be out of town.

I also noticed that the SF/GB game we are going to is causing me to miss the Community Band Christmas concert.

The dogs are barking outside. I am sure they do a lot of that here. Theyve been livinghere for 2 weeks now without us. So, it will be interesting to see how they react to us being here. Maybe they will finally stop trying to get in the car every time we open the door.

I saw my breath for the first time this fall. I love the first night when it is reall y chilly enough for that to happen. There is something romantic about the colder air. A need for snuggling and comfort. The days of hot chocolate are right around the corner. I feel them coming. If you are a good boy or girl I might be sweet and send you a batch.

So, yeah - the house is done. Technically we got our CO (Certificate of Occupancy) yesterday, Dad just declined to tell us that because he didnt want us moving in last night. (Still some things to take care of today.) He left us a nice bottle of wine and a shiny new house key on a "Your the #1 Customer at J&J Custom Creations" keychain. My Dad is a great man. For those of you that know him I consider you very lucky. For those of you that dont - I hope one day you will meet him and see in him everything that is wonderful. I also hope that you all see some of him in me - for as an adult he is the kind of person I would like to try to be. (Not that my Mom is not great too, dont get me wrong. I dont mean to discredit her one bit.)

Tomorrow is going to be the real moving day. It will be a good bit of work. And all this next week while I have to go clothes shopping for the new job, get a concert dress for next Sunday, go to the dentist, take the dogs to the vet, and clear off my old GraySail laptop I will also have to organize the house. I also plan to try and relax some and get some sleep.

The hardest thing about my last day at GraySail today was going to be telling everyone goodbye. I got out of that though because several people were out of the office and I also have to take the computer back next week and go over a thing or two with Jen. So, instead of 'Goodbye' being the hard part it was taking my silly fortune cookie papers off the front of my monitor. I have been collecting them there for years now. Even since Justinsane Design.

We went to the fair for lunch today and to see Justin's artwork on display. It looked nice, and the smells of the fair were fantastic. I did good and only ate a corn dog while drinking half of a lemonade. Tasty all around.

Justin has returned from his shower. I shall wrap this up for now.

Love to you all. And thank you to those that have and will continue to support me through this/these transition. You know who you are and I rather not call each of you out.
