it's official: i've moved in with erin. it's great. it's better than great.
i have to admit, i was hesitant to move in, afraid i wouldn't have my space and i would freak out or something from being surrounded all the time ( i am by nature pretty solitary). i realize now that i chose to be solitary not because i am solitary by nature, but because it was my comfort zone - keeping everyone and everything at arms' length. now i know that i'd much rather be surrounded by those i love and those who love me in return.
my cat is having a harder time adjusting than i am.
this is bliss.on the work front, i've been busy designing and getting my stuff together to get this web design business off to a start. the biggest hurdle is, of course, clients. i have a few prospectives, but nothing concrete yet.
3 days ago, i woke up unable to tilt my head to the left, excruciating pain included. turns out i had an acute torticollis. basically, a muscle spasm. the chiropractor broke my neck a few times and it seems to be on the mend pretty well. i can almost touch the side of my head to my shoulder again. i've been taking advil on a pretty steady 6 hour basis though. hopefully it'll be better this week.

Here's wishing you rapid diminishment of pain.
So pleased to read the adjustment is going better than you expected.
Methinks I know a tad too much about the comfort zone.
I've already picked a tiny little closet of a room in the new house and designated it as my studio...this is nothing new, but unlike the far removed spaces I have chosen in the past, it sidles right up to the Professor's new den so it can share whatever heating and cooling system we eventually opt for...and so we can speak to one another without hollering from one end of the house to the other.
Extremely new, that.
I hope the pain goes away soon!
Brian and I have talked about moving in together, we are still in negotiations about it:) We are worried about our parents mostly, even though at 23 (me) and almost 25 (him) we shouldnt worry too much- we still do:)
hope you get better quickly! neck pain is terrible...
i'm glad the adjustment to living with erin was much smoother than expected
Hearty congrats.
I'm so happy for you.
that neck crap happens to me at least once a month. i'm sure it has something to do with my hard as a rock bed and the fact that i can't adjust to sleeping on pillows. bastardness. so yeah, i feel your pain.
but wow on your moving in with erin. . .it's refreshing to see someone be so honest about the progression of their situation (as opposed to the usual "i woke up one day with hearts and butterflies in my house" entry). it makes emotion seem a little more real, and happiness a little more obtainable.
Glad you took the step
A tortilla spasm?
You poor thing!
Have you tried a poultice of hot melted cheddar?
Can't tell you how happy your happiness makes me.
Well, I CAN tell you, actually.
Just did.
smiles for you and erin!!! xoxo
