Dear Diary . . . day by day

Tuesday, July 31st, 2001 - Adjusting

First of all, I should point all of you to my guest entry over at Tim's journal. It details much of Friday afternoon and evening. His next entry goes through the rest of the weekend pretty well, and since I was with him the entire time, well, it covers my weekend, too.
Yes, I will make Tim write me a guest entry sometime soon. It seems only fair, yes?
For those of you who don't follow links, Tim and I are all moved in and are in the throes of domestic bliss. More or less. There are still boxes in the living/dining rooms and landlady stuff to deal with, but he's here and his room is very cute. We're nesting.
I'm pretty tired today. Last night was one of those nights where I can't quite sleep as much as I'd like. Weirdo dreams, too, although one of them Tim pointed out will make a great speculative short story (all "li-fi", like I like to write them). We rolled out of bed and I stumbled into the kitchen to get my coke. I was only one sip into it when Tim came boudning out of the bathroom (much like tigger), joyfully outlining our plans for the day, or at least the next hour.
I didn't take well to being told what to do. Not first thing in the morning, before I'd caffienated.
After my first coke, I realized he was just making suggestions. But, for a minute there, I was really resenting feeling as if someone had moved in and was telling me what to do with each and every hour of my day.
Ah, I could babble longer, but I should finish up email and sign off so Tim can log on and do some work. We are now sharing a dial-up connection. We must get networked and DSL soon.
So many adjustments! As I said in my Tropism entry, neither one of us expects this to go without a hitch, without bumps in the road. But, ultimately, I'm thrilled to have a bumpy road all our own to ride down. I live with my love! Huzzah!

Exercise log:
Moving boxes (each weighing under 10lbs). Sex. Going up and down the stairs to Tim's room.
Writing log:
Let's see, got a rejection from F&SF, but I've been to busy to do much about it. Must work on sending that out again today.
