Where In the World Have I Been?

So you might be asking yourself where I have been.  You might not be, but hey, I'm going to tell you anyway what all we have been up to.

Lovie came back from school.  Champ, Peanut, & I were so glad that she did.  It just didn't feel right without her here.  I actually don't think that I have posted on here since she's been back, but we spent a lot of time catching back up.  And then the everyday life kind of took over, lol.  She busted her ass while at school and then came back and busted her ass to get in the required amount of time needed to get her Pet Stylist (AKA Dog Groomer) certification.  I'm so proud of her!

I have been focusing on drawing and painting.  I don't remember if I had posted on here before that I am a writer.  Well, I needed a break from writing at the time.  I have no clue why I did, but I picked up a sketch book and some graphite pencils and charcoal pencils and started drawing again.  I had stopped for like 8 years, and have no idea why I started back, but I have been creating art like crazy.  I'm not saying that I have completely stopped writing and won't ever writer another book, but I just needed a break for a bit.

Peanut has started school again, so our lives have been super hectic (like they always are when school is in session).  It's hard to believe that he is in 1st grade now.  Man how time flies.

Champ has just been being champ lol.  He's been playing video games and hanging out at the house lol.  

Until Next Time,

I'm Bored

I'm just going to go ahead and say it.  I'm bored.  Why am I bored?  Because it's just me and Peanut in the house together all weekend.  Well me, peanut, and the way too many animals we have lol.  

Champ went to go spend the weekend with Lovie so that leaves me at the house alone.  And let me tell you; it's a very weird feeling.  It's been a very long time since I slept alone and didn't wake up to one or both of them here.  I'm not sad or upset or anything, I'm happy that they get to spend some time together.  I'm sure both of them are having a great time and are happy to spend some (I'm sure) much needed time together, but it's just weird being in the house without either one of them.

I couldn't sleep last night, though it was nice just to lay on the couch and watch a ton of bad movies, and just not do ANYTHING.  I tried to go to sleep around midnight, but I kept waking up off and on and would stay up for a bit each time.   Unfortunately, Peanut had me up at 6am.  I don't know why he is such an early bird.

I have messed around on the computer a bit.  I've been researching some other poly blogs and websites to contact to see if they will put a link to my poly surveys to help spread the word.  The more responses that I get, the more reliable my data will be.

What I really really really need to be doing is cleaning up this house.  I don't know how it can get so messy so quickly.  It's a small house, but still....  We need to figure out some kind of schedule or something so we can all stay on top of it, but that is for another day.

Well, I guess I need to get to cleaning.

Until next time,

I Miss Lovie So Badly

Lovie went away to grooming school a little over two weeks ago, and damn I miss her so badly.  She will only be gone for a month, but so far it feels like eternity.  I never thought that only after 17 months of being together, I would have grown so close to her.

The house just doesn't feel the same without her around.  It's so weird.  I thought that it might bring Champ and I closer together because we'd have some one-on-one time, but honestly the things just don't seem right without her here.

I have been doing things to try to remind her that we both love her very much and miss her.  We talk via text everyday individually and as a group. I have also sent her a card almost every day since she has been gone.  Some of the cards have been store bought, some have been just hand doodled blank cards. It's just been my way of reminding her that we will be here for her when she gets back.

Peanut has handled this the best out of all of us.  He misses her, but isn't really down.  I asked him the other day why he wasn't sad that Lovie was gone.  He looked at me in a confused manner and said, "Because she's coming back.  She's got to go to school."  Leave it to a six year old to put things into perspective.  I know I shouldn't be sad that she's gone, because she is doing what she has to do, but damn it's hard not to be.

Champ is going down to spend the weekend next weekend with Lovie, and I'm so happy for them.  I wish I could go soon, but someone has to stay and care for the animals and Peanut.  I got to go see her for the weekend last weekend, so I've already gotten a trip to see her, so I know that Champ should go alone.  I'll survive.  I'll miss them both, but I'll be ok.  If you want to read about my visit with Lovie click here.

One good thing that came out of her going away to school was that we went on our first mini vacation together as a triad.  It was only for one night but it was so much fun.  You can read about our mini vacation here.

Well, I guess that is enough crying about how much I miss Lovie.  I feel better after getting it all out.

Until next time,
