Today, Michael, my Michael, left to return to Colorado.
This has been in the works for perhaps ten days now, though really when I look back he never really moved here to Pennsylvania at all, not in spirit.
I cannot overstate how much he hated it here, and it affected our relationship profoundly. There’s a whole lot more to it all, of course, and this is the Cliff Notes version, but you get the idea.
So how this long-distance thing for us will work out in the end is anybody’s guess, and meanwhile it looks like I’ll be spending a lot more time alone than I have in years and years. In fact, it’s been 13 years since I was alone for any appreciable time, but with the children with The Ex for their 50% each month, it looks like I’ve got a lot of time to fill.
After Michael drove away this afternoon with Mickey in his rented moving truck, I did what anyone would do.
I vacuumed.
Then I went to IKEA.
Now I have lots of things to assemble and I can’t even begin to tell you how very weird it was to come home to a totally empty house. No children, no mate, no pet even (Serena has already hit me up for a potential kitten with Mickey leaving but that hasn’t happened yet), just silence.
It’ll be interesting finding me again.
I’ll keep you posted.
