Chasing love....even if it lands me in Canada

The exchange rate of living in Canada just went up. Way up.

Emotions are at peak value these days :)

Continuing the saga (and joy!) of cross-border love,

Here's my short story....or novella, as it may turn out....

I chatted a short while ago about how I met the Polar Bear online.

It was a GREAT introduction (click here for the background),

and we totally hit it off...and been going strong ever since.

Best thing since blueberry muffins (which I absolutely LOVE!)

Then....some news.....

He had been on the job hunt for a while, months, actually

had some successes, but nothing really GREAT panned out...

until he had an interview last Tuesday (a week ago, can u believe it?!!?!?)

in Toronto

And on Wednesday, he got the job offer.

This was fantastic, deliciously sweet music!

Until I heard that there was one stipulation.

He had to start immediately.

On Wednesday, I bawled, brawled, and cried till I was sore

(all over pizza and pinot grigio).

On Thursday, I pulled it together

and started the Exel sheet listing all the stuff to get done before his move.

(Such an A-type, right?!!?!?)

On Friday, I rolled over the big suitcase.

On Saturday, we took pictures of his house to post online

(hope he gets some tenants soon!!!)

On Sunday, we had a beautiful breakfast and planned the rest of our weekends.

I'm not the biggest fan of long distance relationships.

Too lonely.

Too expensive.

Too worrisome.

But love's not easy - if it were, everyone would have it, right?

So, for now, he rests his head in Toronto,

but, more importantly,

he rests his heart with me.

And that's alright.
