It’s been lovely having all of you here but I’m going to try to wrap up the pity party now. Feel free to stick around and finish up your drinks.Breaking up with someone is just so abrupt. On one side of it you talk six times a day, text about minutiae, and get all excited about things like the back of the other person’s neck. Then you sit down and have a half hour conversation and it all ends at once. What a crappy system.
So now I’m finishing up the part where I delete old emails and gather his stuff up into a box, so that I can miss him whenever I want to miss him instead of whenever I open my closet. And I’m letting the rest of my life pour in to the mercifully small spaces left behind by his absence. The rest of my life isn’t quite as fun to watch movies with, but it’s really going rather well.
I finally found footing at work. My first projects are rolling along and last week I got to wear my steel toed boots and watch soil samples being taken with a drill rig. Steel toed boots! A drill rig! I’m putting together a panel for a conference. I’m making maps.
Not to mention I’ve played in the snow twice this week, and I finally brought yogurt and almonds and oatmeal into work so I can eat breakfast. I’ve been getting back to yoga. I closed my Eugene bank account. Quack quack quack!
And are you ready? Are you ready for the biggest duck yet? This afternoon I have an appointment with a real estate broker.

I've been hanging out on drill rigs with my steel-toed boots too! PD 139 and Trailblazer 27.
