Domestic Bliss

One week in and I am really loving this new living situation.  Truly.

I had a lovely weekend.  I've decided that Fridays are easily my favorite commute day, as the bus was emptier both ways, and on the way home Friday I had an empty seat next to me and behind me, so I got to recline AND managed to catch an earlier bus home.  SCORE!

Also, my Drs. office called late Friday afternoon to let me know that my test results came back, CIN1, which was the best case scenario.  It just means that I'm back to the Pap every six months, which is fine by me.  That's what I'm used to, anyway.  ;-)

Friday night I spent the evening chilling with BF and his daughter, J.  We watched several episodes of the new Netflix Show "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt", which I loved. Saturday we ran a couple of quick errands, then in the afternoon J and I did home manicures while finishing out the Kimmy Schmidt season.  It was J's half weekend with us, so she got picked up at 6pm.  We went out to dinner at a new to us place nearby, and it was a  grand success.  Great food, good drinks, good atmosphere!  We followed it up with a visit to Target for a couple of things, and then went home and baked a delicious chocolate chip cookie pie for dessert.  Yum!

Sunday was lounging around in the morning, cleaning out the garage in preparation for my storage items coming soon, and getting a roast in the crockpot for dinner.  We also planned out our meals for the week and went shopping for everything needed to make them.  I did some laundry, we did some other house chores, and we wrapped up the night watching "The Walking Dead" in bed together.

I know this is not glamorous.  I know I'm not out at the bars or the clubs or the shows of the world. But I LOVE our life together.  I told BF as much this weekend.  I love doing the normal, mundane things together.  We had fun cleaning out the garage for god's sake, LOL.  I'm just so happy to be living together, combining our lives.  I have such a good feeling about this, and I really feel like we have taken the next step in our lives together.

Beyond that, I think it's already helping us make small strides towards the future.  I think that we are both seeing what our life together could be like, and liking it.  Just this weekend BF said a couple different variations of things about "when we're married" or "when we get married", and last night we saw something silly about an old couple who'd been together for a long time and kind of hated each other as a result and he said, "I hope we're not like that when we're old!"  He was kidding, but it's just nice to see that, even moreso than before, he's seeing the same future I am....one with us together.

Don't go getting any ideas, though----there is no imminent proposal coming, LOL.  I wouldn't be surprised if that were a year off!  The point is that we've started down this road and so far, it's a good road.  So far, we're working well together.  So far, he's completely assuaging any concerns I had about making the same mistake I did with Angry Ex.  This is so much better.  :-)

Today was one of BF's every other week telework days.  He was still in bed when I left, but we hugged and kissed goodbye, and he reminded me about my lunch in the fridge.  My bus ride in was so quiet and lovely, and there was the most gorgeous sunrise to watch as we drove along.  I felt peaceful, happy, and thankful for the choices I've made to be where I am right now.  I made the right decision.  :-)
