I am so goddamn happy.  It is so beautiful here that I feel as if I’m on vacation.  I keep turning to The Suitor with, “Can you believe we actually live here?  I mean, like this is our supermarket.  These are our sunsets.  This is all ours!”  Linus gets air time, with floor to ceiling views of finches and squirrels, as our place overlooks a nature preserve.  We overlook cliffs and rolling hills on Lake Austin, with sunset views (you sort of have to lean to see the sunset completely).  All I want to eat is spinach and whole grains.  Living here, in central time, feels healthy and athletic.  Last night we worked out in our 24-hour fitness center then went for a dip in the pool.  Today, I’m working out by the pool, 15 sunblock, hair air-drying.  Hydrating on the Poland Spring alternative out here.  Of course we both packed our cameras like dumb-asses, so they don’t arrive until sometime later this week (when I’ll post photos).  We now officially have our own washer and dryer!  My own keys to our garage!  We have steps. Actual staircases, where we can hang art.  French doorknobs.  The entire apartment smells like grown-up, of new carpeting and paint.  A master bath with a sunken tub.  Two bathrooms!  I can’t stand it, I love it so much here.   We’re test-driving cars soon, so we can each have one.  Things are coming together.  Glorious.  It’s the only word that comes to mind right now.  Is it hot?  Yes.  It hit 100 today, but it doesn’t feel hot.  There are cool breezes, and my hair is fine.  There’s no humidity here that I feel.  Infusium-drenched hair helps, too.  I fell asleep to the hum of crickets and awoke to Linus’s gas.  Things are just as they should be…
