This Moving Thing...

So the big move is over. Jess has finished her 23 year career in the military and has turned over the keys to her duplex. She will be staying with me until she has found her own place. We have agreed that is the beat course of action until we are 100% sure we can build a life together. (Meaning until I can come to terms with living with and loving a woman).

Its been a long time since I have lived with anyone other than my kids. Even when I was married, my ex husband was not around enough to be considered living g there most of the time. I am not having issues so far,  but I can see where they may.

Jess and I have very different sleep patterns. All those years in the military, including one trip to the Middle East, have him rising about 5:30 AM every day. I am so not a morning person! I am not currently working and my kids are at their dads so if I'm up by 9 I'm lucky. Of course she goes to sleep between 10 and 11 while I am up til midnight or later! I'm hoping that will change when I start my new job on Monday.

Also, all the "togetherness" is a bit much. Every minute of every day we are together! I am a huge introvert and need my alone time to re-energize. I haven't had any in quite some time. I need time to do what I want alone. I have a lot of projects I want to get to and even cleaning I do better alone.

To add to all this, there is the extra clutter. It isnt all his stuff, but it definitely contributes. I live in a decent size trailer house with my 2 kids. Space is tight and very limited. We have spent the last 2 months cleaning out my Dads house as he downsizes. Being the sentimental Jimmie that I am, I hate to see anything gone, so I drug it all home! Books, pictures, quilts, even furniture are now scattered around the house, adding to the feeling if chaos!

This will take getting used to, all of it! I know that takes time, so I will have to wait as this all works itself out. In the meantime, welcome to another day in the life of Claire....

Moving and ideas

Jess finally finished her move up by me. We finished cleaning and loaded the last of it today. Hard to believe we are moving on to a new chapter in our lives. One that will surely bring even more new and
startling changes.

Not sure how I feel about it all. If I could have things stay the way they are I most definitely would! In a heart beat!

Unfortunately lots of changes going on. She retired out of the military back in February,  retired out of her job in May, and has moved up here. Physically her breast size has increased due to the increase of estrogen. She has also been practicing her feminine mannerisms. She crosses her legs differently, she moves her hands differently, she even announced that she no longer stands up to pee because it isn't lady like (yet she buck snorts and hocks lugeys in the shower...ewwww)

Lots of emotion accompanying these changes, for both of us. She is excited, nervous, fearful, concerned,  on cloud 9. Me, I'm more hesitant, holding back, scared, filled with dread.

Anyway, just a quick note tonight. Will try to do better as we go...

Night Dear Ones!
