My bay area daydreams or visions or something

• Because I will need to be warm, and because wearing socks and pants are things I prefer not to do (*strongly* in the former case, less strongly in the latter), I see me in skirts and tights and a really warm coat or duster or something. Already bought gloves.
  
  
• I see us in walking distance from good, fresh produce; an independent bookstore; a video store, likewise independent; some cute shops; the BART; someplace where I can take cool classes (pottery? yoga? C++?).
  
  
• I see myself deciding on a whim to see a movie and having stonebender to see it with.
  
  
• Likewise Buffy. Likewise Alias. Likewise Six Feet Under. Likewise The West Wing. Likewise Firefly. &c.
  
  
• I see a weekly in-person date with stonebender instead of a weekly phone date.
  
  
• I see being able to see sogwife every week instead of every couple-to-few months.
  
  
• I see spending significant time every day on my writing.
  
  
• I see my car lasting a lot longer because there's actual public transportation in the Bay Area.
  
  
• I see (and this is just a hunch) me feeling like I'm finally in the town I should've been born in; finally home, among my chosen family and friends, and in the best place to grow and bloom for the next lovely stage of this wonderful, rich life I have.
  

Three weeks. The nervousness comes and goes, but the peace and joy are settling in. someotherguy is a large part of the reason for that. If I didn't already have the name "serene", I would have to bestow it on him. I have never met a calmer human being in my life. (Even when he's stressed and nervous, he's mellow. He's really a perfect companion for me in that way. Of course, my other sweeties are perfect companions for me, too, but in different ways.)
