Summer's End

Summer's End August 27, 2016 Greetings Sweet Pervy Friends, As usual life is running away like a freight train on uppers…lol…Summer is almost over. How did that happen? My pups and I are counting down our days in Italy, only 8 days left in this beautiful country that has become like a 2nd home for me. I love and adore this country with all its odd quirks and interesting customs. I shipped Beemo (my beloved silver Z3 BMW) back to the states this week so my flying down the highways at 100+mph without worrying about breaking the law are over. So very sad but what amazing times I’ve had driving Beemo from one end of Europe to the other. I love that car! It has been really hard saying goodbye to the people here who have become like family but I realized that the people who have been here for so long have said more goodbyes than hellos and I’m just another nice person passing through their lives. I’m afraid my non-profit is going to fall apart but I have to let it go and hope for the best. Moving the pets is the nightmare it always is trying to get all the pieces to move together. The Viking will have to drive me and the dogs to Frankfurt, Germany about 10 hours away to fly out. Some of the airlines made major changes to what flights will take pets and now there are no direct flights for pets out of Italy making the logistics of getting an anxious, fraidy-cat Great Dane home problematic but I got it figured out. With the parrot I thought I had all the ducks in a row until a few of those fuckers jumped in a lake! Since Italy refuses to issues us a permit we need, his flight plans are on hold. I’m sure we’ll figure it out but it really shouldn’t be this hard. We had an amazing summer. The Viking and I spent almost 3 weeks in Scotland with a couple of days in the UK. We were at Stonehenge for the summer solstice and got to watch the Druids service. The local Druids are one of the only people allowed in the circle anymore. We were there for the historic vote to leave the EU. We explored Loch Ness, found Nessie, a ghost in our Monastery Bell Tower apartment, rode Highland Ponies through the Glen Afric national park, visited lots of Stone Circle and mounds, stayed at the most remote Pub in mainland UK, got kicked out of karaoke for being too good a singer, visited lots of Outlander sites, castles, ruins and incredibly friendly people. I had a week home in Italy before we headed to NC to find our new home for the next 3 years or so. It was all amazing. The truly amazing part, no arguments or problems between the Viking and me. Of course we haven’t tried to add any new people into our relationship lately either. Until we get into a good couple’s therapist I don’t plan on trying to add anyone. The summer gave us lots of opportunities to rebuild trust in all kinds of ways but not when it comes to other women. I’m really afraid of when we do try to add new people again. I don’t have much left of patience with mistreatment and lack of respect anymore. I love the Viking tremendously but I love me more and would rather be alone than miserable even with him. He’s seemed to be extremely sorry for all the shit he’s pulled and done in the last 2 years but will it stop him from repeating the same stuff? We’ll see. Things are great with us when we are together but when we are apart things get much harder. We’re about to be living together for the 1st time since before we got married almost 5 years ago. We’ve lived apart more than together in the 6 years we’ve known each other. The downsides to the summer were few and fleeting other than the issue with Lil Bit that is still an ongoing legal issue. She’s decided she wants to live with her dad. Apparently, the 2 of them have been talking about this permanent move for quite a while but no one decided to clue me in until right before school ended and she informed me that she was staying with her dad. The state she’s in says at 14 a can decide where they want to live so fighting about it was/is pointless. She’ll be 14 in less than 6 months. As much as I want to fight this I know letting her make this choice is for the best. Both her therapist and mine agree. It is going to be very strange only having her during holidays and summers. I just hope I’ve given, taught her the tools she needs to succeed. I’ve worked my ass off to try to get the house ready for moving since the Viking will be the one staying behind to do the household goods pack and ship. I think I’ve got it under control. I’m just hoping we get a good moving crew like when we moved here. Personally, I need to get back on a serious workout routine and back to eating healthier. I’m back up to 155 lbs and not happy about it. All the travel and being sick since we got back from the US have really piled on the pounds. I’m working on getting back down to 115-120 lbs. I probably won’t be back on for a few weeks until we get settled in NC. I have a new gorgeous house to decorate and the Viking has a new custom<b> motorcycle </font></b>with sidecar for us to play with. I hope the summer has been great for all of you. Take care and love each other. Happiness is a choice. Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. Love on. Kisses, L        Kisses, LA    |

So great to hear from you and that you had a wonderful Summer! Such great pics! Gee how time flies huh?....I remember when you were first moving there and trouble shipping the pets then, that hasnt changed I see. Good luck with your move back to the US...sounds like decorating that new house will be fun. Funny how kids can be resilient and all you can do is hope for the best and just be there for her on her terms. But being a mother myself I know how hard it will be to let her go.
