HECTIC LOVE WEEK

I’m so glad next week will be much easier; and flow smoother 😉

Holland and I have spent several hours each day of this week shifting things around/moving stuff in, and out of homes/making time to spend time together (at least for Supper) while trying to get stuff done before hitting the road for Reno next week, to get married … it’s been a little frantic at times, but the chaos is for a good reason 😊

‘Unquestionably Loved’ Post: https://jeastofeden.blogspot.com/2022/12/unquestionably-loved.html

It is good to be loved. It is good to love someone again. All the love that both of us have been holding in our hearts – that had nowhere to go – is now freed up to be given to each other; it is good to be useful. It is good to have a purpose, instead of just aimlessly passing through life. This love Elohim has blessed us with, is an honest-to-God miracle, and we are running with it.

I'm DOING it.

Holland was extremely patient in waiting for my heart to catch up with his.

And once the spark caught fire, things escalated quickly.

Quickly … but not easily.

Moving takes time: a lot of time – time that cuts into ‘together’ time.

And snafu’s seem to crop up at every turn; I was watering my potted plants Tuesday afternoon when I noticed water where there should not have been any water – the window casing was leaking as the slanting rainfall pounded the side of the house! WTHeck. Holland checked it out before Supper, and knew exactly what was wrong … so I did what I could to keep the wooden floors safe from water damage, and he fixed the problem the next morning.

Bills needed to be paid, and the payment dates fall on the days we will be gone: the bulk of the bills are ‘set payments’ – the water and electric fees are yo-yo payments, so I thought I’d drive into town and pay those to get them out of the way before we leave town. The water bill went smoothly … the electric billing was screwy, the girl in the cubicle was ridiculous, and I didn’t want to waste gas running into town every darn day hoping to {hit} the sweet spot day: I overpaid a guesstimate cost just to get it out of the way. I dropped off three bags of clothing I could do without (freeing up closet space for Holland 😉), at the Goodwill in town … but the donation box I had for the Caring Pregnancy Center was ferried back home because the Office was closed – ditto for the Manager’s Office at Heron Pointe, when I walked up there to pay the Space Rent; and to inform candy that Holland would soon be moving in with me (the rent got paid – candy can go suck an egg – I tried, she was being herself, as usual). she will be angry, but I am getting married as planned, and because she wants to play at doing her job, she can do the background check and bitch about it, later on; after we get back. Today I finished paying bills, did laundry, and cleaned house … every day this week, Holland saw what I really look like when I spend time at home: no fancy hair, no makeup, and no glitzy clothing; thankfully he loves me just the way I am 😉

Shifting closet things around ... about 5 hours to clear up some space for Holland's stuff.

Window leak! Holland fixed it.

I overpaid at the P.U.D., just to be 'sure' the payment was where it needed to be ... dumbasses! (((YAY!))) Both major bills have been paid before we leave for Reno 😊

Caring Pregnancy Center was closed; I ferried my items back home.

I tried to inform candy that Holland would be moving in; but as usual, she can’t be bothered ... she's obviously 'in' at home, which is actually the backside of the Office. She wants the title without the work that goes with it.

Chrystal's Christmas Gifts to me; I snacked on the candy all week long, added the mug to the dishwasher load, and threw the socks in with a laundry load ...

I dress {down} for an 'at-home-weekend'; I'm not going to get 'dolled-up' to sweep floors and do laundry. Leggings & a man's oversized polo tee works for me on lazy - or super busy weekends ... and I do not wear a bra - I don't care who is in the house: I live free and easy on stay-at-home days 😊
