I talked (gchat) with my friend Teena this weekend and she said I should do a better job of keeping up my blog. If you know her, you know she never would have said that. I was telling her that I was preparing for a move to Northern California next month. Karen and Peter's apartment that I want to live in comes available at the end of March. It seemed logical to move. Adrian will move with me and keep the home fires burning when I travel to the East Coast.

Man, I was really moving. I hired the moving company and bought boxes. I've started packing. I've been going through the garage and transporting old stuff we will never use to Goodwill. And the trash can is getting things that nobody would ever want. Ms efficiency here. But I really failed to consider completely my son's wishes. Teena asked about his friend Emily. I'd thought about Emily and about leaving all my friends, but I thought that this moving business is tough. I don't want to leave DC in a couple of years and come back here to do this packing and schlepping. Yuck. Who knows how old I'll feel then? But I kept thinking about what Teena said and asked Adrian if he would rather stay. Well, duh.

So, Teena, thanks to you, we are staying here. But I will continue to clean out the garage and move things to Goodwill. The move has become Spring Cleaning and now Adrian is helping me. For some reason, he did not want to help with the move. When I get back from DC, we will have far less to do. At least, that's the plan for the moment.

Teena didn't write to help me decide about moving North. She had news of her own. She and Shinil are expecting. By my calculations, this all started after Teena got her first massage ever at the Leelah Palace. I could be wrong. :) But don't these two look happy? I'm happy. Congratulations to both of you. I'll be expecting pictures in September.
