Twitter-Sized Update... Updated 3:04 in Book Five: Working Through the Maze 2018

Three things:

(1) I was able to find a single apartment for Rent that I could move into quickly. I am visiting today (with fingers crossed tightly that the place isn’t a shit hole) and hoping to have everything signed and ready to go by the end of the day. Well… I say that. I’m sure they’ll do a credit check/background check/etc. But… I just hope that I can get it all taken care of quickly as it would be nice to confidently have this issue solved rapidly.

(2) I do hope that this wasn’t cruel or inappropriate; but after reading comments and notes about the Love Languages thing, I reconsidered the results and came to a thought. You were right that the NUMBERS weren’t important and that I should look at the PRIORITY order and consider creating equivalencies. Wife needs Quality Time with the same strength and need that I require Words of Affirmation. Wife needs Acts of Service with the same strength and need that I require Physical Touch.

Considering that… my usual day-to-day is enough for Wife. I spend time with her. I cook dinner. I do laundry. I do the dishes. My every day going about life is good enough for Wife. Until I’m gone. Y’see… living apart is going to interfere with Quality Time and Acts of Service. And not that I want to be a dick or hurt my wife but… this could be a good opportunity to help her understand my experience. After all, if she starts to miss spending time with me… if she starts to miss the things I do for her around the apartment… then maybe that will be a good way for her to “step into my shoes.” One can hope.

(3) I can’t go into the whole thing right now (and I’m remembering less as I stay awake) but I had a very vivid, if odd, dream last night. About Thompson. If you don’t know, Thompson was really the only other “College Girlfriend” I had besides Wife. I found Thompson to be one of the most attractive women I’d ever met with a great heart to match. Our relationship… very much did not work out. In the dream, she was with a bunch of our mutual friends and visiting and it was very awkward as my feelings were still very much there and very strong. A strange dream.

Ugh. An hour’s drive to the Apartment Complex. Nobody in office. Nobody answering the phone. Already spent a half hour waiting. Office officially closes at 3:30 so… it is entirely possible that I will wait an hour with no results.

I am left with but two tasks. First, I must contact my employer and tell them that I may need an extra week. They won’t be pleased but… it can’t be helped. Second, I may have to do this annoying little dance every day this week. Persistently trying to get a hold of this guy, trying to get things sorted. Ugh. Irritating.
