Well, I am home
Jan. 28th, 2004 12:58 pmIt was hard saying goodbye to the handsome cub after such a pleasant visit. Two weeks: we probably won't have many opportunities like that.
I had come to the conclusion I was too hard to live with, and chose solitude partly in resignation to that assumption. I haven't spent so much time with another adult in years. I wasn't so irascible after all. I suppose I simply made bad choices of partners until now. Besides, living alone, I have learned some things about taking responsibility for my own problems. In two weeks I only got prickly once; we tabled the issue and resolved it so quickly I was filled with admiration for him—for us.
I always feel peaceful around Danny. We seem to like the same balance of separateness and togetherness. Perhaps I like more solitude, but with him working a regular schedule, I didn't have any trouble getting as much as I wanted.
This is new self-knowledge for me to ponder. Lately I have contemplated whether a roommate might be good for me. The past two weeks seemed to affirm the idea, as long as I choose carefully.
Guelph, of course, has even more snow than Toronto. I will post some of yesterday's snowstorm pictures shortly.
