fandomonymousI proposed to Alexei near the end of our time in Vancouver, in early July.
I then promptly came back to NYC and worked on closing out my apartment, getting rid of things and partially filling the smallest PODS container with the precious things that were left.
I closed out the Arena in early October and came to Calgary, to a new apartment Alexei and I now cohabitate in. For Calgary, it's a decently walkable neighborhood close to transit, but there's still some adjustment.
In between:
* the road trip back from Vancouver to Calgary was incredibly stressful but rewarding
* I finally attended Calgary Stampede, which was fascinating
* I had a work trip in Toronto, stressful but worthwhile
* Alexei and I spent a week in Montreal, including me taking the train from NYC to Montreal
* two of my comets helped make sure I could go to a kink party in Queens as my 'bachelorx' party
* CA Thanksgiving
* ran Roguelike Celebration again
* the tiniest Halloween get together
The near future:
* continuing to settle into cohabitation, Bridgeland, Calgary, and Canada
* planning the wedding, deciding what things we'll DIY and not
* navigating work and immigration
* head to Florida around US Thanskgiving, meeting family, friends, and some touristy Orlando stuff
I want the time to get into all of this, and actually sort out how I'm feeling about many things. It's mostly positive feelings, but nevertheless it's worth actually putting in the work, and rooting out the negativity that is lingering there. Hopefully I'll get to do so.
