5 weeks

In 5 weeks...

...I have no job.
...I have no apartment.
...I have no idea where to go.

So I've booked a 1-way ticket to the Arctic Circle. Hopefully Danny & I will see the Northern Lights there!

And beyond that? Who knows. WHAT AN ADVENTURE!!!

Nic and Basil

Nic and Basil have a beautiful relationship. She smiles at him, hugs him, talks to him, and he holds her up like a princess. He's strong, sure, steadfast... and just a little strong-willed.

Basil wanted to eat something that wasn't good for him. Nic told him not to. A tug-of-war ensued...

...and now Nic has a swollen foot with a hoof-print shaped bruise.

(sigh)


Still, it doesn't hurt as much as the leg which resulted in the funniest date of my life: me'n'JR in the emergency room.

Permasmile

Because of the absolute bliss lately, I haven't been paying that much attention to my leg.

But it's aching a lot today. I'm 90% certain I fractured it again in last week's horse-riding fall. I just have been too busy spending time floating to be bothered getting it officially checked out.

'Cause who wants to waste time in an emergency room when you could be canoodling in elevators instead? ;)

Headspin days

My weight drops daily. There's a glow in my eyes. I'm so tired but I barely notice. I walk to work smiling and singing.

You know what this is.

It's just ... surreal. Given my dating history I still find it so amazing that someone would want to spend all this time with me. We're one of THOSE couples, constantly holding hands, constantly hugging etc. I feel like I live in a timeless void where the days are filled with the pretence of work and the nights are one endless conversation with him. There is no other time.

(My 'urgent to do' pile grows bigger on a daily basis but I barely notice.)

Just so many beautiful moments, or hours, over a timespan of only a few days (or a few weeks?) yet as I said before, it seems timeless.

Who knew Manchester could be so beautiful?

How did I get here???

And how is it that everything fell into place so easily? Hand of God. At no other time in the past 2 years have I had such an empty calendar (yes, you can argue that I would've rescheduled things anyway), but you see... the time was there. I was there. Here. Manchester. And now so is he.


<-- Yes, my friends, I know this is my sappiest post every. Turns out I AM a girl and a very girly one at that!

First public outing

JR kissed me in front of the coffee guy.

So I guess he won't be flirting with me any more!

Not that I mind. ;)

Life...it surprises you

I have an American boyfriend.

:D

It's been a trippy last few weeks, SO much fun, and tonight the unacknowledged 'thing' was acknowledged, and ... yeah. :D

New Coffee Guy

That didn't take long, did it? He starts making my coffee the moment I walk in the door without having to ask. ;) It's just so nice to have people to chat to first thing in the morning!

Lovely neighbours

Friday night. 2am. Nic is just home from the best date she's had in a YEAR and is looking at the ceiling and contemplating sleep, when she hears a strange noise, like heavy rain hitting her window.

This is the problem with living in a block of apartments. You see, it seems that one of her neighbours was feeling a little sick. And decided that it was easier to vomit out of the window rather than find a bucket.

EW!!!!! I can't believe my bedroom window got covered in vomit!

Grossness #2 of the weekend: I went out dancing with some girlfriends. The club was crowded. I was stunning (I wore the NEW YORK dress and my hair was long and shiny). Guys kept trying to dance with me. And... I got groped at least 3 times by people I couldn't even see (it was that dark and crowded).

Sigh. I guess a girl just can't go out dancing in straight clubs.


But aside from these 2 nasty events, my world is pretty happy and shiny lately. :) Life surprises you with beautiful people.
