This is my last week living alone. One week from today my boyfriend Jesse (and his cat) will be living here in my apartment with me. I haven’t lived with another person since 1997 (!!) when I had roommates in college. This is going to be major. It’s going to be a huge adjustment for me, for sure…but one that I’m 100% looking forward to!
Am I nervous? Yes, a little. Has it really hit me? I don’t think it’s really sunk in. Three days ago, I thought we still had three weeks. He wasn’t supposed to move in until mid-September. But his landlord was a jerk, and the date got pushed to August 31. Then U-haul was fully booked for that day, so now it’s going to happen on Monday. Monday!! Needless to say, I haven’t cleaned out half of what I was planning on getting rid of by the time he moved in. I even took all of next week off to really get down to the nitty-gritty and toss so much junk that I’ve been holding on to since about 1997. (Seriously, you should see some of the sweaters and shoes that I found last night! YUCK! How could I have worn this stuff???)
I shredded all the photos I had of my Ex on Sunday. (I will admit, it was kind of liberating!) I was also pretty pissed off at him last weekend because he had contacted me (again) with a “How’s your summer going?” email which sounds innocuous enough, but I know him too well. Within minutes of receiving the email, I realized that he was contacting me because he was planning on attending an event that my former co-worker was holding the next day. (She’s still Facebook friends with him for some unknown reason and he was part of her mass FB invite.) Two years after he dumped me, he’s still trying to get into my pants. I mean, move on already! It all just provides me with more evidence of how wrong he really was for me. I told Jesse about his email, and that he was planning on attending the event. Jesse did not want to go, and I could sense that the reason behind that was a possible Mark Darcy vs. Daniel Cleaver knock-down, drag-out fight (with Jesse as Mr. Darcy, of course!), so we didn’t go to my former co-worker and friend’s event because of that jackass. I felt bad and if I had been planning on going alone, it wouldn’t have been that big of a deal, but I just couldn’t handle my two worlds colliding. Plus, Jesse and I are on the verge of great new journey together – so why spoil it with these lingering remnants of a not-so-great past?
