First day of NoJoMo! I’m off and running.
Thanks for the thoughts about The Scot and The Texts.
I booked my flight for NYC last night. And then I sent this text to the Scot:
”Let’s make this happen. Let’s please work to make this happen. This can’t be just a fantasy.
We HAVE to do this!!
You are the romantic and I am the practical in this scenario. We can’t have the time without the place in our case. I’m determined to MAKE this happen!
So here’s the deal. I’m booking NYC tonight. At least my flight. I want you to meet me there. New Year’s Eve is where we’ll start our time together and we’ll start creating all the little things. I want exactly what you want - I want the time and the travel and the snuggles and kisses and everything that comes with that. I want the joy…I want my boy! I want everything!
Let’s do it. For real. Let’s stop dreaming and do it. [heart emojis]
You in? [more heart emojis]”
This morning (well, in the middle of the night…his morning) he answered:
Good morning lovely - I fell asleep before I answered
I’m soooooooo in. Let me sort out work and flights
Did you book? [more hearts…we are crazy with the hearts!]”
Me (while lying in bed - it was my off day from gym so I could lounge in bed this morning):
”Good morning honey!! [hearts….all the fucking hearts]
I booked!! I’ll send you the details when I’m up and moving. I have slept in! [heart]
You know my last text…I feel pushy again. I want to make this happen so badly! I hope that you don’t take it in any other way than that I simply want exactly what you described in YOUR text.
I want it so much that I will push as hard as I need to - to make this happen.
And as I lie here in bed about to burst up and start my day I realize that I’ve been the one pushing …the whole time.!! I pushed for us to meet when I was in Scotland. I pushed for us to FT. I have pushed the fuck out of this.
Are you comfortable with all of my pushing? Does it feel like pressure? Because I suddenly feel like I’ve put a lot of pressure on you and I’m not super comfortable about that.
Ugh. Rambling morning thoughts. I have to get up and GO! Time to move!
Just know…what you said in that text and so many other beautiful texts inspire me to take action. I’ve wanted what you say you’ve wanted all my life. And here you are, telling me that’s what you want. I will do anything to take action and make it happen…
I hope your day is spectacular [heart heart heart heart heart]”
And finally, his reply:
Good morning lovely [4 hearts]
I love that you want it as much as me. In fact, I feel honoured honey
I’ve booked Christmas and NY off from work; flights next but I will wait until you send me details. I’ve to fill in something online (not a visa) so will do that at weekend. Passport was looked out last night.
Honey, this IS happening [smiley faces and a million hearts]
I’m so happy
I adore you…[Ginger] Pushy Pants, so much
I hope that makes you happy my girl [hearts, hearts and more hearts]”
Once I got to work I had a super busy morning - got tied up in a million things.
But I had a chance to send him my flight itinerary. He sent back a text that said he’s ecstatic and that he feels even closer to me…and more sweet nothings.
You guys, the stage is set…it’s happening!!!
Now I have to find a place to stay in NY over NYE. Anybody have any suggestions? Thinking maybe airbnb…there are a few apartments open right now. Maybe more later? I don’t really want to stay close to Times Square as I’m not up for that kind of crowd. I want romantic!!!
I’m taking suggestions!
In a sudden topic change, I had my annual appraisal at work this morning. Boss actually gave me a “GOOD” rating (I knew he wasn’t going to go with my Excellent self-appraisal, but at this point, Good is SO MUCH BETTER than, “You’re fired!!”)
I even got a small raise! Yes, very small considering I didn’t get ANY raise last year, but again, I will take it!
Still working towards this whole PIP thing. Boss says that everyone is feeling pressure - including the corner offices, so while I got a good review, this is no time to relax.
Well, duh.
I’ve had a couple of nibbles from headhunters, so I need to follow up on those today.
Guess there’s a lot to do, so I’ll close this up for today and catch up with you tomorrow…Happy November!
xox,
GS
