Last weekend I had a long weekend with Devon: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
century_eyes went up home to visit her family over the weekend, so I house-sat; I went home with Devon late Sunday evening and was in Corvallis until early Wednesday morning (I took the train up, which is a totally affordable and viable transportation option and we will probably use it again in the future). I played The Endless Forest, saw my family for dinner, and brought back ALL THE BOOKS, and it was good to have longer, more natural, more relaxed time with the boy. He won't be coming up this weekend (and after two weeks of hellish amounts of travel, I don't blame him). Biology has left me a bit beat up these last few days, but I imagine Dee and I will find some worthwhile way to spend the weekend. I did learn, on that quick trip south, that I miss very little about my current living situation in Corvallis. It was fantastic to see my parents and four very loving animals, but I don't miss that house and I don't miss living there. This doesn't make any of my future decisions about living arrangements any easier, but it at least makes the situation a bit more clear-cut.
Anyway, things are better. They're not 100% good, but that's to be expected. But having Kuzco here has undone most of the mental damage of Alfie's death. It's much easier to love and be close to him without a crowd in the way, and he has health and companionship and good foods, here, and that's what I so desperately need to give to him right now. It's fantastic to see him warming up and adjusting to this house: he's becoming more vocal and hanging out outside his wooden house, and I cleaned his cage and bathed him yesterday, and he's beautiful. These things help so much.
I say all this because I've been a bit off the radar lately—which, again, is no surprise, but I don't want to leave things at that. I have folk to get back in touch with, soon—and if you're one of them, know I'm around again for poking and conversation. Man have I had one hell of a crazy month, but things are gonna be okay.
