Moving: My top 5 least favorite parts

• Having to pack up everything

• Being pestered to organize a fairwell get together

• Time Zones and the people who forget about them

• Job Hunting

• My last full week at work

Monday

Traipsing
Into meetings with nothing
Creating reports
Kindly declining responsibilities

Treating my moments
Obliging the boredom
Caffieine is careening through
Kicking myself in

Trembling
Into another day
Carefully landing before
Killing off the buzz

Today is the second to last
Over puddles, I go jumping
Coughing up the last
Knee sock hiked up, unmatched

-B. M. Musson

It Kept Him At Bay

He told me that it was my casual openess,

my lack of fear in the face of propriety,

my unwillingness to yield to others

and their staunch expectations of me.

How have I been tasked with this,

to bare a love for someone who doesn’t

understand

but never demands?

Someone who refuses to see,

believe,

or trust in the honesty of me.

But in that moment I saw myself

as the person I needed beside me,

to champion my choices in life;

to fill the well of which I freely give

my heart,

my mind,

my laughter,

my stories,

my time.

Ch-ch-changes Part Duex!

When we last saw out herorine, she was neck deep in a lack of privacy.

This status is currently on hiatus while the temporary squatter visits the homeland of Cheerwine and Vinegar based BBQ.

This is not to say that I don't enjoy having him around.

 I just like being able to walk around in my underwear.

Anywho, while he is away, I will be enjoying the last bit of personal space and freedom. This isn't because his stay on my floor is permanent. Though he will be in that apartment through to March. It's because I'm leaving.

Moving back home temporarily to help out. But I refuse to sleep on the couch, so I'm taking over the alcove beneath the stairs. Harry Potter style!

Gone will be the days of gentlemen callers in the wee hours of the morning.

So the job hunts begins again..... stay tuned!
