He's Gone!

At 5:30 this morning, I kissed DBF goodbye for the last time at this house, in this area code, on this coast, in this city, island, and province. That was our Christmas and New Years kisses all rolled into one.

He and the dog set off for their road trip adventure to Winnipeg for the holidays. This is his last chance to see his son before our big move to Halifax, and possibly his last chance until late Spring (because of his work schedule) so he had to go while he has the time.

The cat and I have been left to man the homestead and take care of the move-out. I will stay here until the official march-out (well, those last three nights we'll be in the hotel), then will head up island to stay with my Mom through Christmas. After that, I'm homeless, but will stay with friends through New Years.

DBF is making the drive to Winnipeg in one 24 hour stint. He's nuts!! Once there, he'll have two full weeks with his boy and hopefully New Years with his friends or family. Then he'll drive to Toronto to visit his Mom, then one more day through to Halifax.

I am flying out with the cat on the red-eye on the night of Jan-4th in order to meet up with him in Halifax for the 5th. We will have "our" Christmas that weekend, then he starts work on the Monday.

Until then, kitty and I are a team! We are used to DBF being away, but usually have the dog for company. It's only been a few hours, and the house already seems so empty. *sniff sniff
