Today was another stepping stone. Our next therapy is on Thursday. Which is in like 4 years or something. I feel good about today. Which makes me feel better about the future. There are many uncertain things, but I’ll deal with them as they happen. Right now, I’m dealing with now. And when I figure out and deal with now, I’ll work on tomorrow. One day at a time. I said change was in the air, and the winds have picked up since then. But things are going to be ok. That I can feel. Things are going to be ok.

So it’s been about 3 weeks since our vacation. I feels more like a year and I’m ready for another vacation. This has been the craziest 3 weeks of my life. And to add to it all, my motorcycle got towed yesterday, because I parked it right behind the parking stall at Mary’s house and not actually in the parking stall. Although I’m glad it wasn’t stolen, it sucks to have to pay $190 to get your vehicle back. But this morning, I forked over the money so I can have my motorcycle. On Friday, I get to see a therapist for the first time in my life. That will be an experience. But I think I’ll get used to it after a few visits. I think that I will start to draw more. I’ll design some tattoo type things and do some figure drawing and whatever else I can think of. Anyone want a tattoo? Otherwise I’ll just paste them all over myself. Or maybe I’ll just post them on my website some time. So I have less hair than I used to, I have had my motorcycle towed, I am going to start some therapy, I will draw more, I have a new place to live (aka, the pink house), and I have been learning a lot about myself and about other people. I’d say change is in the air. Can you feel it?

Ok, so my last blog was a little depressing. This one is not. Unless that is you adored my long curly hair. It is yet time for another change. After a long day of finishing moving, preparing to finish some hardwood floors, driving and figuring things out, we came home to the pink house to get ready to finish the day. Holly showered while I played with Gavin and did some internet stuff. When she was done showering, we declared, “OK, time to give dad a haircut”. Gavin was intrigued by this. So we set a towel in the bathroom and busted out the shaver. Take a look.

Well, here we are. It’s a lonely world apparently. So now what? We
are now into Gavin’s second week of preschool and every morning he
wakes up and tells us he doesn’t want to go to preschool. sigh. When
we drop him off, he cries for his mom and dad. But from what we’re
told, this doesn’t last long after we leave. Although he doesn’t get
the most involved there, he is starting to make some friends. Now he
just has to learn their names. Life will go on and he will get
better. If that were only true for other things. *sigh* Last night I
needed to get out and breath, so I hopped on my motorcycle and rode
up to the North Shore to see the sunset. The drive was a beautiful
one hour trip. I ended up at North Shore about 45 minutes before
sundown, so I laid down under a palm tree on the beach and stared at
the sky. For that 45 minutes or so things were perfect. The sky was
beautiful. The air was clean and cool. The sun was bright. The clouds
were white and grey and orange and blue and red and yellow. The water
was calm and rhythmic. The sand was fine and had a perfect tan color.
And after the sun went down, I hopped back on my bike and went to a
local bar and restaurant. Dinner was delicious. The guiness was as
perfect as ever. Then a while later I hopped back on my bike for the
trip home. Dark now, the stars were shining bright. The air was brisk
and felt so good. My mind was clear. I got a little wet as a grey
cloud followed me part way home, but I then air dried for about 40
minutes the rest of the way. Arriving home, I found Holly and Gavin
still at Mary’s house. But Holly called and told me Gavin was going
to spend the night at Granny’s house, but she was soon to be home.
Five minutes later she walked into the door and all the clarity I had
seeped out and filled with reality. This was a long night. But man,
the bike ride was great.

Today is Gavin’s first day of pre-school. He is very excited. We brought his paperwork in yesterday and he was very upset that he couldn’t stay. We let him roam around and play on the playground and with the other kids. Within the first 5 minutes, half the kids knew his name and one kid said that he was a Gecko dumbhead. Hmmmm. Anyway. He is very excited.

I have moved more stuff into our new house. Internet comes on Tuesday the 22nd. Which means we can move in beds and go shopping and actually stay there. I can’t wait. It will be a bit of work, but well worth it.

Our car is back from the shop and works great. There was a big mess with the warranty people, but that was all sorted out. Now we have a car with A/C and windows that work and locks that work and all kinds of stuff that works. I like our car.

This is the second day now. I have been getting tired around 6pm and falling asleep around 7 or 8. Then I wake up between 2 and 4 am. Stupid jet lag. But it is sort of ok, because I now have to get up everyday around 5 am anyway to bring Gavin to school and drop Holly off at work so that I will have a car to pick Gavin up from school at noon. Of course then, I have to pick Holly up from work at 3.

Anyway, it’s about time to go. This will be an interesting and fund day for Gavin. When I get home, I will put on my new Karate Depot shirt and work. lol.
