the talk

We had "the talk" last night.  He started it with "I have to ask you something".  He was actually very calm and I told him, yes, I am leaving and when.  It went so well I was a little confused.  I expected much more, but I am ok, and better yet, we are actually ok.  He has already asked me out for Valentine's Day.  I think he understands I need me time, and that surprised me.  I will go out with him on Valentine's Day, why not?  And now I can openly pack and stuff.  Procrastinater that I am, I haven't done a thing.  Scared to, I guess.  Oh yeh, he found my paperwork and furniture ads.  I guess that's how it all started.  And if he is reading my blog again, he knows how hard this was for me. 

I appreciate all the PMs and virtual hugs, thanks y'all!  Don't stop now!  I am really ok!  Whew!  Stress level is now down to 4/10.  That's a pretty good place to be.  And now, hopefully, I will have more emotional energy to start getting things done for my move.  Yay me!
