EDIT: Okay goobers, in case (some of) you haven't noticed I've been going through a break-up/move out process here! Today was the day Rob moved out. Sheesh!
Home is where the hearts are
Apr. 13th, 2006 12:11 amWhen I got home from two days away at work in Conyers, I found a surprise on the dry erase board in the kitchen:
Whilst I was gone, Rob![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
knight2monarch had gone to pic up his keys to his new place and take some pics. He had also gone out and made me a key.
I was surprised and touched. Surprised because of late he has been in "separation mode" and touched because though he still has his keys to my place (he has to have access to take care of the dogs if needed when I'm gone, and access to his dog in general) there wasn't any real reason for me to have his house keys - so this was purely sentimental and was most appreciated.
As he later said: "Houndie can be good some times." ;)
Today we went for comics and dinner even though he'd previously said he couldn't, and we spent some QT just enjoying our last relatively normal daytogether in this house. This house has been our home, and now he will have one of his own, and this house will become home to myself and soon to Cadet Natemindchaos.
It's nice to know Rob and I will still be welcome in each others homes, as well as each other's hearts.
Tomorrow his folks come over and he moves some of his stuff, and I have to work at night - Friday is the big move.
It's been a pretty good run here together, though obviously not without its flaws. I'll certainly miss the comfortable patterns we had, but I'll still see him and we will make new ones. I am excited by the idea of newness and reorganization here.

Home stretch
Apr. 9th, 2006 09:34 pmThis has been a rough few days. From the pay problems a couple days ago to the roller coaster that prepping for Rob's move has become, I am wrung out like a wet wash rag. There has been some drama from unexpected quarters, but there have also been some high spots and there has been much appreciated help on various levels from some wonderful people.
Tonight seems to have been the night that the reality really hit Rob and I both, and we got to have some important private words and share some tears. If we can just get through this week I think we will be fine, I believe our friendship will survive and we will continue to be important to one another.
*deep breath*

You ever dream something but don't remember that you did until later?
I was just making breakfast and goin about my business when a wave of sadness washed over me. I was putting away dishes and thinking about Rob's impending move so I thought that was it, and it certainly is part of it, but then I remembered I'd dreamed about Jake.
*sigh* Next week.
He is always so beautiful in my dreams (like he was in life), and happy (like he rarely was). He made a lot of choices and lived his life in ways I never quite understood and I guess I never will. I miss the hell out of him.

Had a very good day for my first Valentine's in 7 years as a single guy. It would simply have been just another day, I have so much stuff to do and keep track of I wouldn't really have time to be morose about it. Luckily it was no issue, as Rob decided to take me out for our 1st Non-entine's Day dinner - which was both unexpected and sweet of him. We had a good time, made some plans regarding his move and surgery recovery, and it was nice to geek out over gaming and stuff with him without a drop of divorce drama.
Then several folks (including Ensign JPohm_gnomic, Ensign Joe tbpoynga, non-LJ Terry, Cadet Jamey gabear34) and myself went to HQ (Marietta Diner) for a Valentine Singles dinner which was good fun and good food and good times. Some of which are pictured here. :)
Now I've got to get crackin' on packin' for IBR.

Well, here we go...
Jan. 29th, 2006 01:11 amWell, Rob picked out his new apartment to be today...not official yet, but barring any weirdness with his app, he should be able to put money on it and move in mid-April.
I'm not as sad about this as I thought I would be. I can see all the little things I will miss about having him here, but I've been really focusing on enjoying each and every one of them, no matter how tiny, every day...so that when he does move out I will have a store of fresh happy memories to fall back on.
And of course it will be great to get to clean out/ rearrange the house - after all I *am* an Aries and am only all too happy to have the run of the place the way I want it.
I do still need a housemate for mid-to-late April or May though - had a couple nibbles so far, waiting to see what is possible.

7 = Always
Oct. 3rd, 2005 06:21 pmI've been trying to start this entry for days, but there were last minute bases I wanted to cover, and all these little special touches I wanted to do - but there is no way one post is going to encapsulate all this so I'll just go with what I have.
Saturday Oct 1st was Imperial Magister Roblogomancer) and my 7th Anniversary. We went to our favorite anniversary restaurant, Pappadeaux, which has awesome Cajun and Creole food. We had a good time there, had some great food, and celebrated our 7 years together as partners (we’d been friends for a couple years before that for those of you that didn’t know). Then we went to browse at Borders and then to see Serenity and enjoyed that for the most part even with the sad parts.
Bittersweet seemed to be the theme of the evening, because Saturday Oct 1st was also our ( 1st Nonaversary )
