Run its course?

I’ve been absent for awhile. Perhaps it is because this blog has finally run its course. My absence usually means one of two things: I’m busy or I’m happy. I’m both!

I love my new job. I love the work and the contributions that I provide.  Some of the people grate on my nerves…but such is always the case. People are annoying, self-serving and generally assholes when they don’t get their way. But, if this ends up being the worst of my problems at my new job, then I’m a lucky fisherman!

 My Cabana boy and I are completely happy, secure and couldn’t be more in love than we are! The only issue is he is on temporary duty on an island in the Caribbean. He went on assignment in January. I knew this would either be the demise of the relationship or completely solidify it. We see each other for long weekends about every 6 weeks. We talk on the phone for about 2-3 hours every week night and for hours on end during the weekends. We Facetime every other week (when he is at a hotel and can get WiFi). Thank goodness for cell phones. I think that because we can’t “do” stuff together and the only contact we can have until we see each other is a call/texts, it has caused us to communicate in ways we never have. I just can’t express how wonderful it is.

 I truly believe this was the way it was meant to happen. I think having someone in my life 24-7 after my nine years of being independent would have been too much for me to handle. I even now feel suffocated every once in awhile. So, this temporary assignment give us a few years in a long distance relationship where I can slowly become close to someone. When it is over and we move in together, I’ll be ready for the 24-7.

 Happy Happy Happy!!!
