Adventures of a Crazy Gay Man » My happiest moment today:

Every year – every dang year

I promise myself I’ll cut back on gifts for Adam. This year it was less but still went a bit overboard. Not anything big since we already have a bike and a scooter so it’s not a pricey year. Budget was tight so it worked out.

My problem is that I pick up things from September on and then forget. I did that a few Christmases ago and I remember how Emily helped me get ‘unstuck’ and we just started wrapping; I miss her a great deal even still.

Next weekend is baking cookies and the cool getting baked on Baileys. It’s a silly tradition but it’s mine. I’ve got the recipe ready for the cookies and me.

Adobe Style

My posting habit needs to be re-established.
Yesterday was my first day at Adobe. After almost a year at Walmart, this great option came along. It was interesting for a first day and I’m feeling challenged; excited and a tad nervous – those are good things.

Now I know why I haven’t been posting given all the activity lately. I’ll try to catch up but here is the short list from the past month: Thanksgiving, new house, citation on new house for sidewalks, kindergarten tours, cyber week at the largest retailer, new phone system and it’s struggles, SD rental eviction and rehab with Jeff’s amazing help, Christmas season, counseling, new job with travel, caffeine and wonderful Adam. Whew. It’s been a month.

SF Zoo

It was one of the best outings.

What a day -

Vintage Zane. Big breakfast, ran pillows, throws, dog blankets, stuffed animals and anything else through the wash.

Golden Gate Park with Adam and his bike. While he napped I checked out a drag documentary and finished my living trust. Afterwards dusted and vaccumed (like moving sofas, tables and chairs) then played trains, and ordered Chinese take out.

Oh not yet – then trash out, poop picked up and weeds in sidewalk sprayed. With Adam in tow – interested and kinda helping on the afternoon.

He had an Adam forest with monsters while I sprayed weeds and he spotted poop for me to pick up. He also started this ‘Sir, yes sir’ military thing. It was cute and I played along.

Finally we took a bath together and chatted in the tub – we both enjoyed the face to face we shared.

The day had some friction points but I managed to keep my good mood and momentum. Grateful for the day off and although I didn’t hug a vet I’m aware my day is possible because of them.
