What's been happening the past few days you may ask?
Thursday went well... as I said earlier, I bought a cell-phone for the first time in a decade (work had always provided one to me). After using it for a while now I can say that, so far, I am happy with the service, and somewhat satisfied with the phone.
Paid the storage up for another month, and got myself a P.O. box until such time as I make my final move (expected at months end to mid-April).
Night-time brought my Leafs together against their hated and long-time rival the Habs. We prevailed 5-4... sweet! Was a good game all 'round.
Friday was a quiet day of reflection, watched a few flicks (AMC had on a 24hr marathon of past Oscar winners in preparation for Sundays presentation).
Saturday? That was another story...
Saturday I made my first attempt at getting to my storage locker to 'organize' it. When I say organize I mean find the things I need to have on a daily basis. Never made it though as I was with a friend who's also looking for a place. I offered my services (as a tradesman), and, as there are those who've come to my aid in my time of need, I offered my services at no charge.
Pay it forward, right?
On my way back, I finally made that call/text I'd been putting off for a while now.
There is a reason a best friend and lover is known as such. Even when not speaking often, you still feel their pull. And so I sent off that text, wondering over a response as we'd not spoken in a couple of months. But the reply came, seemingly within seconds. Please call!
The hour-long ride back on the bus was passed while on the phone. Was nice to have a belly laugh again, and enjoy genuine conversation. Many hours were spent on the phone that night... it just felt right. I knew I'd made the right 'call', and felt the same in return.
That night (and 'round here Saturday night was a gorgeous night, crisp, not a cloud in the sky... snow lightly falling) I went for a walk in a local park, and thought of my best friend. I don't think I left any prints in the snow.
We spoke most of the night.
The next day (again after spending hours on the phone in the morning), we met for coffee. We had agreed that we couldn't/shouldn't wait 'til Wednesday to see each other again. It had been too long. So, the coffee turned in to an hour-long coffee break. There are never enough hours in a day, it seems. Again, hours on the phone passed the night away.
Monday I'd planned to finally spend the day organizing my storage locker. This was something that had to be done as I was missing some items that I needed on a daily basis. Arising early (you can include yet another hour-long bus ride), we spent the morning together. Genuine laughter... genuine conversation as well as genuine feelings filled our time together.
Leaving off at her workplace... a kiss ended out time together for that day. I couldn't help the shit-eating-grin I'd had all the way back.
I did make it to my storage unit and accomplished what I needed to. Still unable to get my things here though!
Today was filled with chores... laundry, garbage, tidying and dishes and such (as well as hours of texting/talking). Was looking forward to watching my Leafs but they are on tomorrow and not tonight. Meh!
Tomorrow, I can't help but feel a sense of anticipation I'd not felt in such a long time. Some people are just better people when together (in whatever being together is called) than apart. And as we embark on yet another part of our lives together, I feel confident that this time... we're gonna do it right.
No matter what.
Some people come in to our lives for a reason and it's up to us to find out what that reason is, accept it and ultimately act upon it.
Again... no matter what, whatever it takes.
