The boy is still around. I&#8217;m running again. I&#8217;m almost done with my coaching exam. Work is boring at the moment, but that&#8217;s not a bad thing. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s the short version. <\/p>\n<p>My newbies finished their first race this past weekend. Got out there, took a bunch of pictures, wore down the battery (discovered the power saving settings a bit late), and generally had a good time seeing them finish their first race. Sad that I&#8217;ll be missing the party this weekend for them, but family duty calls &#8211; instead I&#8217;ll be down at the parental units&#8217; place for a family reunion. Whee. I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be happy to see them all once I&#8217;m down there, but in the meantime I&#8217;m just annoyed at the timing. First world problems. But the race was a good bit of enthusiasm to finish up the coaching exam, too. Almost there, just a couple more questions. Then comes to fun part of working on a new plan for next year&#8217;s newbies. <\/p>\n<p>The boy. What to say there? I&#8217;m smitten. Really, really enjoying dating him. Makes me a bit frustrated that I own my apartment in a building that doesn&#8217;t allow dogs, as there&#8217;s no way to get out of here easily, and no way to move him in (were his job able to allow him to). Yeah, that smitten that we&#8217;ve talked moving in already. And I&#8217;d do it in a heartbeat, were I able to. I had a five year plan that I was developing before I met him to fix things here (kitchen!) and give myself some more options. That&#8217;s still here, but there&#8217;s more of a sense that it&#8217;s truly a five year plan with a more definite outcome than just &#8216;options&#8217;. Funny how that works.  <\/p>\n<p>In the meantime I&#8217;m spending a lot of time up at his university home (walking the dog). We&#8217;re running together in the mornings (he asked me to help him get started on running). Cooking more up there (I missed cooking for someone else &#8211; it tends to focus me more on doing something more than just convenience foods or last minute stuff). I&#8217;ve seen more movies in a theater in the last 2 months than I have in the last 3 years (when I can look at listings and think, &#8216;damn, seen all those already&#8217; you know it&#8217;s bad). I actually miss sleeping next to him when I stay down here at home (he&#8217;s spoiling me there). So, yeah, smitten. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dishwasher works well.
