monterey bay

monterey is a lovely little town. being right on the bay, its foggy and chilly, ideal for me... were i prepared for it. i left my hoodie up north. *frown* nonetheless. ive gotten out quite a bit. dennis the menace park, fishermans wharf, lovers something or other. drove into pacific grove, very cute little town. story book even.

last night i went to the ER. 2 hours in and out ... amazing. memphis would've taken 16 minimum, oakland... perhaps 24. i had some dodgy swelling in my ankles on the flight from memphis. it hadnt gotten any better. so to ease my mind, and the mind of my loved ones (yes i have them) i surrendered and walked in. im very glad i did. turns out i am fine. no underlying issues, just some superficial swelling and the doc just said to stay off my feet. thats the worst bit. you dont tell that to a chubby girl whos trying to walk and be active. Grrr! what a pisser.

anywy. i havent taken alot of pics here. i have been terribly worried aboout the swelling... so i am relieved. tomorrow samantha is driving down and we are going to the aquarium and having dinner... then we head back to walnut creek til i fly out to anchorage. sigh

i am ready to be in anchorage. im too old to gypsy around like this. lol. its fun, but then at points i just want to go home. jennifer has made great strides in making the place comfy. she even got an suv last weekend. so she is mobile. i am hearing mixed reviews about public trans there. i will get there and see what happens. hell i may be driving again before this adventure ends.

stay tuned!

rejuvenation

after an emotional last 48 hrs in memphis and delayed flights and traveling in coach eww! i arrived in san jose and my baby was waiting there to scoop me up.
of course we stayed up talking, so we slept in til about 10am yesterday and by 11am we were off to pick up friends and head to the beach. up one side of a mountain and down the other we arrived at stinson beach. we had a lovely picnic and waded in the icy cold water. heres a few pics...





yes i got a little sunburned. today im lounging and will have dinner with samantha and friends tonite. i thnk we might see a movie later.

its good to relax.i have several more days of rest and rejuvenation before i fly to alaska and start work. cheers!

packing anxiety

i hate sorting through material items and trying to decide what to take, store or pitch. it's like ripping my life apart and it totally stresses me out. ugh. i packed up the playroom today. i packed some to take, some to store and found homes for some. we're talkin 5 years of hardware.

i'm almost done. the charity truck comes tomorrow. i'm selling the bed tuesday and going to a hotel for the night so i can shuttle to the airport wed evening. Then i'll have 10 relaxing days in california. ahhh

yes it's true

i am moving this month to anchorage alaska. memphis is a dried up hole. full of closet queers and cocksuckers and very few that want real BDSM. what a shame. i grew up here. i love and hate this city with equal fervor. so... i am moving with my friend jen who says. memphis sucks you down and when you leave it sucks you back. this is very likely, cause i've left many times only to find myself back here... giving it another try.
apparently i have pissed some people off recently with my candor. oh... fucking... well!
so i'm guarded and standoffish... whatever. try doing what i do. if it was easy wouldnt everyone be doing it.
so i'm off to a new adventure. I leave memphis july 22nd. i'm so excited!!

here i go again

My midtown stay is coming to an end the 21st of july. those of you that want to see me before i move need to make arrangements. I'm going out with a bang.
where to next? i'm thinking somewhere cold! ahhh!
