Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

Craziness!

Who would have thought that one single bulletin board post would have brought on a maelstrom of "where the f are you moving to?" or from my fave Don, "don’t keep me out of the loop girl!"

Here’s the long and short of it:

Thanksgiving was a great catalyst,  speeding up some decision making for me.  Was Drea staying in DC? Would I find a subleter to take my pad in DC so I could start making money (or at least stop losing money?) Would I get some action with benefits from a friendship with ex bf Chris? (NO!)

Drea and I had a cycle of emotional tidal waves. What brought it on? Perhaps a skipped dose (or two) of zol-to-the-loft. Maybe I needed a dose of the Ann-to-the-Taylor-to-the-loft, or at least more me time or retail therapy. What came to pass (invoking Galadrial) was an ugly confrontation that left me weeping from exhaustion and Drea bitter with anger. Things have stabilized dramatically since Thanksgiving weekend with Roz helping with babysitting and Wendy  babysitting me!  Thank GOD for Wendy with her sound advice, patience and big time support of my mental nervous breakdowns.

Thanks to Wendy and Roz, I got to nap for at least an hour, spent several hours without too many worries (until I freaked out about Drea not returning back to Roz’s pad after a half hour of dog walking).

Two times during the last 4 days did I have a serious mental breakdown and had almost executed plans of sending Drea back to Texas permanently.

Okay, so long story short: I’m signing lease over, moving back to condo in DC AND taking Carmelita back with me to DC. I will most likely be couch surfing with Roz and Wendy or others until my subleter leaves (that’s free rent that Wendy intends on converting to vacation money!) Craziness.

I am no longer a single mom, no longer a suburbanite, and officially a dog person.
