so me and maggie-monster are here in MA. she's sitting in my lap purring. i know she misses her brother. we couldnt take him on the plane because the ticketing agent lied when they said we could check him. turns out they dont allow checked pets until after sept. 15th.. lame!!! so he is still in cali with my mother and maggie gets a bit lonely up on the top floor.
the weather is great. its hot and humid but about 25 degrees cooler than in cali. i love the sound of the cicadas outside my window. i'm starting to feel real peace.

my last week in cali was stressful what with wrapping up all my moving business. had some good final days with the ex though. i'm glad we didnt end up leaving it the way we did when he moved back to sac. my car shipper still hasnt come through so the car is still there. ugh! and everyone i live with drives a stick! damn my bad back and not being able to drive a standard!

my ex hasnt drunk in 2 weeks. i told him i'm proud of him. then he tells me its not that he's quitting, he just hasn't drank. ugh! freaking alcoholics. but hey as long as he doesnt call me all drunk its not my problem.
i wonder how long it will take for me to adjust to this new timezone. i keep staying up till 3 am. it doesnt matter much at the moment but i will have to start working in a week or so...

all in all life is starting to look better. finally there is promise. finally there is hope. i know i made the right choice. it's weird not having anyone to take care of. i've had to take care of someone my whole life. i don't think i'll have too much trouble getting used to it.
