A very moving experience

[clevermanka]

roya_spirit and I got moved out of the house on Perry on Saturday with minimal fuss. The weather was a bit nippy, but no active precipitation occurred. Whew. A million and one thanks to adamcrafter, to whom I owe a great debt for helping me move twice in less than six months. I owe you more than a lunch, sugar.

This morning I had a sad comment made to me by one of the grad students. He said his wife (who recently cut her waist-length hair and I guess loves my haircut b/c she wanted the name of my stylist) was turning all "professional" and that wasn't the girl he fell in love with. It makes me wonder, what part of a person does one actually fall in love with? It's normal and healthy for people to change over a lifetime. It's a rare love that finds it can withstand drastic personality changes. So what, exactly, do people fall in love with? What do I fall in love with? And why is it so unexpected and hurtful (yet so common) when people find that they person they loved is now no longer that person? Hmmm.

Also, some small work drama caused by miscommunication and the failure of someone to tell the absolute truth. rougewench, thank you for being a stellar example of how the sky will not, in fact, come crashing down if you are honest with people, despite possible hurt feelings. Tact is nice, but honesty is so important. I don't like having to explain someone else's inability to tell the truth, straight up, no chaser.

Life is starting to rev back up. My calendar is starting to look ridiculous. I had hoped for some sort of public birthday celebration this year (Dude! 35! Wooo!), but I don't see how that's going to happen. Drat. Perhaps a party this spring? Not sure. My inner 8-ball says "Ask again later."
