Another day in Paradise

I've been traveling for business for the last year (In New York & New Jersey), away from My partner Paul (almost 14 years together, and our 7 kids: Roxy, our dog, Furfur, Dumpy, Nilla & Sybil- our four cats and Pookie & Iggie, a Cockatoo & a conure. About two months ago, I took a job in West Palm Beach. Still away from home, but closer to getting us all settled again, together.
After working 34 days straight, 10 hour days (give or take), I've got my shit together. Just in time to enjoy the summer.
My days start off by waking up at 6:00 am (not by choice- usually one of my kids is waking me up wanting to be fed), make my coffee, flip on the TV and check out some of my favorite websites and check emails; both personal & work. After I've had 3 cups of coffee and 3 cigarettes, I take my Dog Roxy for a walk and then shower and head to work. Right now, work is a breeze, remember- I got my shit together, I go in around 8:30am and leave around 2:00pm. This has to be one of the easiest jobs I have had in 10 years, but it is also very rewarding, since I am the Boss and in a very short time have built strong relationships with my staff, customers & clients.
Anyway, after 5 1/2 hours of that I've been running some errands and then heading back to my shoebox of an apartment. Two weeks ago, Paul and I put an offer on a house in West Palm Beach. It's smaller than we are use to, but it has a pool and jacuzzi, sits on a lake and, it is West Palm. We close on June 29th. Paul moves down here on the 12th of July YEAH!!!!!!
Well, I've been sitting poolside about an hour and a half everyday, this white boi now has a tan!
Around 5:30pm, Roxy starts telling me its time to bring her to the Dog Park. I found out about this dog park from my neighbor, Sunny- the crazy cat lady. Ever since I have been going every day for the last 3 weeks. I spend about an hour or two there chatting with the regulars. Its kindaa like "Cheers" but without the beer. I have made some very nice aqaintances there. It is very relaxing and very funny, especially since Roxy is a "Horn Dog". She tries to hump every dog she can. Oh, Roxy is really a boy, but thats a totally different story. She is very confused!
Paul and I talk on the phone at least 3 times every night, just listening to each others rants. I miss him soooooo much! Only a few more weeks and we'll be back together.
By 8:00 pm I eat dinner, watch some TV and fall asleep by 10:00 PM.
I feel like an old man with this schedule, but my bed sucks, I miss Paul, and our life has been upside down for the last 12 months. Once we are together, and we get the new bed delivered, we will redisover ourselves and learn to enjoy life to the fulliest.
Well, thats my life today. Lets see what tomorrow brings.
