Comfortable

That’s how I feel right now.

Comfortable. In all aspects of my life. And comfortable is a good thing.

I’ve had the chance to do a lot of thinking over the past few days – about a lot of things. Mostly, about my relationship with Sweetie. Which is wonderful. And comfortable. And right. I visited the family yesterday, and we were talking about the big developments in my life lately (namely Sweetie). Blunt hysterical questions that shocked the socks off of me. (Sweetie thought they were funny too). But then it dawned on me.

I’m comfortable with him. And it’s a different kind of comfortable than I’ve ever had in other relationships. And the difference between those and this one, tells me so very much. In the brief time that I’ve been with Sweetie, it just feels like we’ve known each other for a long time. The familiarity between us is like picking up a friendship where we left off years ago. I’m not sure where that comes from, but it is there. I’ll say things, and he’ll stop dead, then laugh – he thinks or does the same thing. He’ll say something, and I’ll react the same way. Things that come to mind…..Tomato soup and goldfish crackers (and they MUST be parmesean). Waiting for a particular shade of green light”.

The running joke between us is that our ‘theme’ song should be the Twilight Zone theme. Hehe.

Things are good. I miss him terribly this weekend, but I know that on Tuesday, I’ll see him again. Monday night I’ll be back at the house, settling in, unpacking, and getting things ready for the week. And waiting impatiently for him to get home. For us to be comfortable together again.

On the Northern Front (I’m not calling it home anymore – because home is where the heart is, and it’s not in PA right now). Things are also going well. I FINALLY got the car inspected this weekend. (Hey, I’ve been out of the State, and haven’t been able to get it done!) It didn’t need as much as I thought it would need, but it is still a little expensive. 600.00 worth of work on it. Front and rear brakes, two tires, and apparently the most expensive part in the world – a passenger side windsheild wiperblade. I honestly thought it would need more than it did. But it’s safe, and with how much I drive, this is an important thing. It’s good for another year, and I figure I’ll still be driving it for the majority of that year. (Regardless of the discussions that Sweetie and I have had regarding future car plans).

Spent time with the Family last night. Installed chat clients on my mom’s computer so we can chat with her from no matter where we are. Talked to her about Sweetie, (got grilled by the Auntie about Sweetie too *G*) where the future is heading, what we’re going to be doing, how things are going. All the important things. She told me that she just really wants me to be happy – and as long as Sweetie makes me happy, she’ll be happy with that. (And he does….very much so). After I got home, Sweetie called, and we talked for a while. He sounded SO tired, but apparently he’s having a great time visiting with his family and exploring the area that he’s in. I can’t wait to see the pictures. It’s going on our list of places we’d like to visit in the future I think too – he said he’d like to go back, and it’s a place I’d love to visit.

Watched a little bit of TV yesterday while I was working. The first season of Friends (DVDs borrowed from Sweetie to entertain me when I was home). Last night, I watched the Lake House, which was a good movie, I didn’t see the twist at the end coming, but was pleased with the chick flick qualities. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a good one.

Today, I’m stamping some – making a few cards to mail out next week, a thank you card for the friend who is babysitting the fur-kids while we’re away, and of course, some cards for the Sweetie. (Because, well, no one can have enough love in an envelope!)

Later on, I’ll pack – go through some clothes that I want to take to NC with me, do a little bit of laundry, and basically get ready to go. A friend of mine told me last night, he was glad that I wasn’t so grumpy about going to NC anymore. And I told him, I now have a reason to look forward to making the trip.

Because it’s going ‘home’ for me.

More later – the stamps are calling!
