#i guess the move plus the trip back and forth to the vet

[flammenxci]

Some good news, my family’s second oldest male cat has finally felt comfortable enough in our new home to sleep soundly on my bed without jumping up whenever someone enters the room. He is out cold. Good.

Took him about 4 months to get comfortable enough to be out in the open like that. He’s still a bit skittish but not nearly as much as he was when we moved. Poor boy stayed hidden under my brother’s bed until mid-March.

Somebody broke me once Love was a currency A shimmering balance act I think that I laughed at that

Sometime around the summer or fall 2012 we accepted that fact that we would move for my job. It was the right step for my career. It would just be a 3-5 year thing, then back to the corporate office in Cincinnati.

In January 2013 we learned Orlando would be a realistic option. I flew down on Super Bowl Sunday and interviewed with HR during the first half, then interviewed with several others the next day at the office. I was offered the job a few weeks later.

After a few work trips back and forth, I officially started my new job on my birthday in March. The next day I watched the Lakers-Magic game in the company suite and got to see Kobe play. In April we moved into our house in Oviedo. I remember that summer as vividly as I remember any summer. Sometime in that summer I realized I didn’t ever want to leave Florida or move back to Ohio.

In January 2014, there was a surprise restructure at work and it became evident the job I was doing in Orlando would be merged with the job another guy was doing in Tampa. By the spring, I had won out and the other guy took a job in Charlotte.

In the August I started the executive MBA program at the University of Florida.  There I met a guy who worked at very large company at a satellite office in an Orlando suburb not far from house. I didn’t realize at the time how high ranking he was at the company.

The following August, in 2015, I would join a team with that guy. In January 2016 our team was assigned to do a presentation on the Argentine banking crisis. I did most of the work and delivered a great presentation. The guy at the large company said he wanted me to work for him and would call me from time to time about jobs in his division.

In February, there was another surprise restructure at work. My job was merged with the job another guy was doing in Naples. I was informed straight away it would me. The other guy was out. So was the guy in Charlotte.

I was at the 3-year mark of a 3-5 year role. But had enough change to keep me interested. But it became clear to me, something would happen to my company or my department or my role at some point.

The next year would make 15 years at my company. I didn’t want to be forced out with this my only experience. The way I looked at it, in another 5 years, if some restructure happened at this company or another company I joined, would I rather be a 20-year vet with one place, or be a 15-year vet at one place plus a 5-year vet at another when looking for a job?

I started talking to that guy from my MBA program more seriously about jobs in his division. In January 2017 I interviewed with some important people at that company, but the specific role wasn’t right for me in my opinion. I figured that company wouldn’t work out for me.

Later that month we rented an Airbnb in Siesta Key for a long weekend. In February we went to my aunt’s in Jensen Beach for a long weekend. Although not the stated intentions of those beach weekends, it felt like we were soaking in what we could because our time in Florida was coming to an end.

I had just had my annual review at work, and we talked about moving me back to Cincinnati, about what jobs I would do. The plan was next year they’d move me back. My kids could start school in the fall of 2018 in Cincinnati.

In June the guy called me about another job at his company. I interviewed via phone with 2 people. I did the interviews from my car in a parking lot in Fort Lauderdale when I was traveling for work.

In August I had a work trip to Naples, which the family and I turned into a long weekend trip, I got the call with a job offer on the drive down. The next day I called back and accepted the job from an empty office in Naples.

I had to wait for the background check. They said it could take a few weeks. I had a previously scheduled work trip to Charlotte before those few weeks were up that I had to do. It was sort of weird because I was taking on additional responsibilities and meeting all sorts of new people I was supposed to be working with.

On a Friday, in a much shorter waiting period than a few weeks, I was about to head to the airport to fly home from Charlotte and I got the call that the background check was clear. I called my boss in Nashville to quit. When I got back to Orlando, I fielded calls from my boss’s boss and my boss’s boss’s boss. I guess I caught everyone by surprise.

I set my final day for September 1st. I made one final work trip to Cincinnati the last week of August to say my goodbyes to many of my contacts from corporate. I worked for that company for 15 years, 11 from that corporate office.

I was also able to do a happy hour with a bunch of my old friends which was nice. I haven’t been to Cincinnati since. I was able to do a happy hour with a bunch of my Florida coworkers in Tampa a few weeks later which was also nice. I have only kept up with a few via text.

My first day at the new company was set for September 11th, but hurricane Irma hit which made what was supposed to be a relaxing week turn into a stressful 2 weeks. My start date was pushed to the 18th, and everything was good.

On the Sunday night before my first day, we were supposed to see the Bleachers concert in downtown Orlando. I really wanted to see the show, but not the day before my first day at a new company. I gave the tickets away on Facebook to some people I knew from improv class. They seemed to have a good time. They were dating at the time. A few years later they moved to Atlanta and got married.

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets Your hand forever's all I want Don't take the money Don't take the money

Crumbs

Friday night I got an apology from Colby for being so unresponsive. 

I had sent him pics of me looking hot for the board installation. His response? “Pretty.” A friend drunkenly told me, after seeing the same pic, that his response should have been along the lines of ‘holy wow, I’ll be there in ten to fuck your brains out.’ (I also got a lot of positive reaction at shul that night.)

He did agree to do dinner at my fav restaurant Sat evening though he mentioned he had to be at his shul for 8am Sunday morning. He wanted to see a movie either before or after the movie, but for theaters near me that just wasn’t a decent option due to timing, when the restaurant was open and how late he wanted to be up to. I told him let’s just focus on dinner for now. 

I did flatly tell him, “Please don’t let it slide so long again. I was really worried and upset. Especially since we had talked about the silence thing before.” His response was “:(”.Seriously?

We had a few texts Saturday morning. He then tried to get me to see the same movie (that I really didn’t want to see) nearer to him. When I asked how that worked with dinner near me he asked me to call him. 

Remember how a month ago I was watching his dog who got hurt. The dog had a serious injury years ago that left his back two legs “wobbly” so having one of his front legs also bad is Not Good. His dog got better, sorta. So he stopped worrying. But, part of that was giving the dog OCT pain meds twice a day. Two weeks ago Colby thought he could feel a lump of some sort on the dog’s shoulder - of that same front leg. This week the dog got worse with walking and stairs on that front leg, so he took him into the vet again, this time with xrays. 

After the weekend I watched him, and after Colby found the bump the vet couldn’t find anything, but this time the vet could feel it too. The xrays showed that there was a large calcified mass that was that bump. The only way to treat it is to amputate. Right now the dog is on heavier prescription pain meds; the vet confirmed that the dog is in a lot of pain but hiding it from Colby. There is no way that the front leg can be amputated with two bad back legs. He wouldn’t be able to get anywhere (water, etc) while Colby was at work. So now Colby is facing the hard truth that he may need put his dog down. He loves this dog so much. 

He shared that this is especially hard for him due to another imminent difficult loss in a very important part of his life that is expected in the next few months. He just can’t deal right now. He told me that he wouldn’t be a good dinner companion and just wanted to clear his head and have some time to have fun, so that he could teach his Hebrew school class (which he hasn’t taught this level in 7 years so he really needed to also catch up on the curriculum). This resulted in his asking that we do dinner and movie near him. 

He was sweet in saying he really wanted to see me and spend time with me (since he hadn’t since Monday morning when we parted ways for our respective jobs.) I didn’t feel I had much choice, either see him on his terms or don’t and be miserable myself while also unsupportive of him. 

I had been in a LOT of pain all day. I woke up in the most pain I’d been in since the car accident, and still had to go food shop for a 200 person BBQ. (Aka lots of heavy lifting of bulk foods/meats.) I also drove 1 hour each way to make an appearance at a friend’s kid’s bday party. I actually called while I was at the party, and elicited a funny reaction (I dropped the fork and piece of cake on it when the phone rang.) I made sure he knew that my giving up what I wanted to do, and needed to destress after I was to the point of CRYING on Friday (both due to him and due to a shul political issue), and being in so much pain that I wasn’t really happy to be the one to give up. Again. (Remember the unintended bait and switch from the gardens to the baseball game?) 

I left the kids bday party early, drove the hour home, packed and grabbed stuff I would need for Sunday morning as well as made sure MY dog had what she needed, then headed to him. I arrived and he was going over stuff upstairs. It sorta bugs me that he doesn’t really greet me when I arrive. He expects me to find him wherever he is in his place at the time.

We ended up buying tickets to a nearby theater (not his typical/preferred one) for the movie he wanted to see (and I was very clear that I did not want to see it) then went out to dinner. I had suggested a place we literally could have walked to from his place. Turns out, this place was hopping and we scored a rare walk in table, as normally reservations are needed two plus weeks in advance! But the service, drinks, and food were so worth it. We will be going back for sure! Though, of course we both got two drinks each and the big meals (as opposed to sandwiches) so the bill before tip was $100. I offered to take care of it since I had recommended it, when he looked at it he asked if we could split it. I don’t know if it was that I expected him as the guy to pay, that he made me change our plans to what HE wanted/needed over my wants/needs, that I was in pain and still stressed out, or a combination of those and more, but I was kinda disappointed and miffed that he wanted to split it. 

Getting to the theater was a trip. The way to do so was so round about and through some interesting (and not safe) areas. The theater was also very... ghetto. Nice bathroom and concession stand though. The movie ended up being WAY awesome. We had a lot of fun watching it together, witty comments back and forth, laughing over the same obscure references, etc.

On the drive back to his place, I confirmed how he had to leave early, and commented that I wasn’t sure what I would do since I couldn’t go home then to shul as it would be like 5 minutes at home before I would need to turn around, but it would be way too early to go to shul - never mind I was hurting so bad that I knew I wouldn’t sleep well or want to get up so early. He mentioned that he was ok with my staying at his place longer after he left. That then opened up a very awkward conversation. One that gave me some ugly insight. 

He was shocked that no one had made the same offer to me before. Especially since we knew were each others hidden keys are. But he felt that we weren’t at the having spare keys to each others places yet. (!!!) I did a double take and was REALLY hurt by this. I told him how I was ready to give him a spare key, but didn’t think it was worth it since he hardly ever comes up my way. (Which also is sorta hurtful. It is ALWAYS my going to him.) 

He wanted to stay up to go over his class stuff for the next day. I asked him if I should being my book to read where he was, rather than in bed. He said he would be up soon to not do that. I took more pain meds and showered to help relax my muscles. I crawled into bed and was nearly asleep by the time he came to bed. It was so weird (but not unexpected since he is a night owl) to have him in another room while I just did my own thing and to fall asleep in his bed without him. I was right in that I barely slept due to the pain.

As is typical, he took forever to get up including my having to say his name and poke him to get up and turn off the alarm a few times. I didn’t really wake or start to move until he was nearly done (like 45+ minutes from when he got up.) I ended up reading and eating breakfast when he left. He was very sweet and kissed me (our typical kiss - closed mouth) and wished me luck with the BBQ. Again, as I showered and finished getting myself together and chillaxing before going to my shul it was so weird to do so without him there. I had an emotional good bye with the dog, as I don’t know when, or if, I’ll see him again depending on when Colby makes the (obvious) decision to put him out of his misery. 

That evening as the BBQ was really kicking off he sent me a text, “You got this.” It was funny, I told my VP about it, and she asked if it was X number of minutes ago and when I was standing at Y place. I confirmed, and she laughed because she guessed as much when she saw my face light up and me get a huge shit eating grin. lol 

Colby’s cousin is a member of my shul so he was at the BBQ. Its funny, he and I have definitely formed a bond since I started dating Colby. He is friendlier toward me. It feels like a family relationship as opposed to a friend relationship. I know whenever he asks how I am he is really asking how things are going with Colby. Due to being stressed I slipped. I normally try to be vague and positive, because I know how Colby values his privacy and how careful he is about who/when/how knows about us. Instead, I told this cousin that things were good but slow and frustrating. Still vague, but not so positive.

I just don’t know right now. While he has done some good things and I do take into account his tough situation, I’m still not happy with the balance of it all. I care for him, and know he cares for me; though the fact he isn’t ready to swap keys makes me think he either is scared or feels way less about me than I thought he did. 

Never mind that he still hasn’t made much in the way of moves on me. I had thought I would make some serious teasing and moves on him Saturday night, but between the pain and exhaustion (and emotional hurt) and my other stresses, I just couldn’t. That and being nearly asleep by the time he came to bed didn’t help either. :P I did warn him that I would be stepping things up, I just haven’t been able to yet since I said it. lol
