Things they are a changing

They are,
they are!


a) I got a job offer, complete with visa change, in Boy's place in sunny place, which means I have more bargaining chips in hand to talk to new boss in old company about relocation & remote opportunities in boy's town, which means, I am not going to be in smalltown for long, which means I CAN be with boy soon (maybe a month or so)
We've waited and waited and wait-ed for this for so long that now that it's here, all I can do is giggle helplessly.
I called all and sundry and FB messages were sent fast and furiously and long conversations were had with the M.L. and a lot of stress has been drained away.

b) We got the deposit down for a place in Boy's sunny town
For what, you ask?
For a wedding.
a WEDDing between the boy and I.
oH HapPy dAy. I can't even type properly for I am all noodley with drained stress.
I keep comparing everything to last year, to see if I am dancing in the dark again or just doing stuff to keep the marriage hope alive,
And my mind keeps telling: oh QUIT.
quit your comparing.
quit your whining.
Quit emotionally whipping the boy about last year.
Apologies and flagellations have been made and must be forgiven and forgotten.
The parents (mine) are on board and suggested dates.
The parents (his) are not on board but the hope is that they will eventually come around.

Me: It's like I am not out of the tunnel yet but I can see the light peeping at the end.
M.L.: yEah. Now is the time for you to rub your hands like Mr. Burns and go 'aaaeeexcelllent'.



Though really, all credit goes to the Boy, whose over analytic, perfectionist nature has led to this 'the chips are falling into place' moment.
