9 49 pm pdt [ flashes ]

Game night last night was great. Dinner at Kathmandu followed by gaming and dessert. Six people. Fun all around.

Flashes of memory. Couch, bed, tv into truck. Couch, bed, tv out. A house on stilts for a different kind of move.

Potatoes for breakfast. Worries about money. Nervous anticipation. Matthew had helped our former boss move, so he helped us.

I am so excited. It doesn't feel real. It feels like another temporary home, but I busy myself unpacking to make it feel more mine.

We've found new routes to our new place. But we've barely begun to explore.

We have left all glasses at the old place, which I didn't realize until I had boiled water for tea. Then I wanted some saké and realized that I had my saké set with me. We toasted to our future.

[ 3 years: ]

three years ago today: I didn't write because I didn't feel like it.

two years ago today: I love you Matthew, wherever you are tonight, and knowing that you won't read this.

one year ago today: I am so delighted to be meeting so many new wonderful people.
