Sleep is for pussies.

I did not call L because he has to work tomorrow. My wife did not. I called her. he will not be happy with me about this. I feel I made the right decision anyway.

Why am I awake? Why am I sitting at my computer rather than snug in my bed? The beginning of that answer is that the Honey is in Paris. He's headed home today. If he catches the early flight from Cincinnati he'll be in MN around 6, if not it'll be closer to 9. He has his phone and he has said he will call when he gets safely back to the states.

Continuing the answer is rooted in my nervousness and in this is brought out the core of why I love my wife. You see, she said to me earlier, "If you weren't scared I would be making fun of you for that because that would mean that you aren't really considering all the angles." She is very wise, my wife. I called her after I talked to the Honey. He decided he needed a shower more than he needed to talk to me more. He is forgiven since he is going to be in a plane/airport for a long time today. They were talking about HR packages, visas, and exchange rates for salaries. They were talking about reality. He told me a bit about it.

Berkie also said that she would be very worried if she found out that I hadn't insisted as a condition that Kitty Cat would get to go with me. She's right, something would be very wrong in my head. Kitty cat would not survive that separation.

Torby will live and love on anyone who is around. She reminds me a bit of the dogs in Quito. They went with the house. "Ah yes, the lovely ranch style down on fourth street complete with the german shepherd that speaks english, spanish and german! We can see about upgrading the refrigerator." She'd be great as a feature of the house cat. People are wonderful to her. Its rare to find one she doesn't like. This is good.

Nothing is set in stone. There are two more weeks of assessment that I am aware of. My nerves and fear will not keep me from accepting such an amazing opportunity.

Oh and, he was schooled in wardrobe. He was apparently lacking when he went out for drinks with the guys. I feel vindicated.

Perhaps right; certainly not comforting. Under the circumstances comforting me isn't the point, though.

Yeah... talking about reality. That's what I keep coming to expect more and more.

And I don't have work-work today. Though I appreciate that you let me get in my 6 hrs of sleep from when you got off the phone with me, ... yeah.

*love*

Ain't poly grand? Multiple avenues to get your needs met.

[siriciryel]

Yes... *said plaintively from a place of putting off my own needs*

Paris is really close, like a weekend trip close, that would be awesome.

[hypatia42.livejournal.com]

I know. It makes me smile to think of being closer. Ya think if there are more of us across the ocean it'll entice visitors?

[siriciryon.livejournal.com]

Enticement has not been the problem for me...

[evaelisabeth.livejournal.com]

Definitely, a vacant couch has an irresistible appeal I think :-)

[hypatia42.livejournal.com]

Definitely. There are a couple of people that I would facilitate the commute with to make sure but I think you're right with the opportunity and lack of room expense. :)

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

so if this is solid thing, how long is it for anyway?

[mike-l.livejournal.com]

We don't really know. I didn't talk to anyone that can make a decision who gave me direct feedback about packing my bags to live in Paris. Although if/when that happens, I would guess that it would be for roughly 18 months.

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

wow. what an experience if it solidifies! good luck with whatever happens! (but it was nice seeing a nonstressed mike at ramblewood, so I was sort of hoping to see it again in June, but if you were in Paris instead...well now.)

FSG is non-negotiable for me. I think I'd insist on it for Michael too. They are talking June/July. They can wait for late June if they need him.

[libwitch.livejournal.com]

Its good if they are already talking late summer start anyway then - makes it easier to negotiate that start date! Hey, I would like to see both of you there =-)

We should talk more. So many changes in your life that I didn't know about! I know we're not tight, but it would be nice to connect once in a while. Wishing you well! Perhaps a Reiki share?
