I went to the gym after I got off of work Monday morning, did an hour of cardio and finished up at around 7am. Drove on over to J's place, took a quickie shower, then crawled into bed with him and was promptly unconscious. I guess he stayed and cuddled for a while, but I wouldn't know because I was unconcscious. I woke up at around 11 while he was doing some work on the computer and trying very hard to be quiet. I took pity on him and got up because I know that it is darn near impossible to type quietly, and besides I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep any more during the day. He didn't have to go into the office because of president's day, but he was trying to take care of other clients with the free time.

He cooked lunch, and then we went and met with a realtor, in the hopes of locating a house to rent. I'm so totally not a fan of renting since I think it is a big horking waste of money, buuuuutttt.... well, we've solidly decided to move in together, and my house is not at all big enough and his condo is not at all big enough, and so until we make some more decisions regarding various futures, the best bet seems to be to rent a house for a while. I'll rent my house out--and my note is low enough that I should have zero problem renting it out for an amount that will cover the note plus expenses.

Big decision, it was. But it all feels very right.

So, anyway, we looked at a couple of possibilities, but there aren't too many houses for rent in the neighborhood we want in the size we want with the big fenced yard for the Dog. Fortunately we aren't in any sort of time crunch other than we wanna do it, so we can be a little patient until the right place comes along. We're also on the lookout for houses that have been on the market for a while to see if we can find a desperate owner who'd be willing to lease or do a lease-purchase in order to cover their note.

After we looked at houses we drove back to Slidell where J met with another client for a while, after which we went and picked up my truck from the body shop. Drove back to Mandeville, where J had a meeting with yet another client, at which time I told him I was tired and was going to lie down for a few minutes while he had his meeting, and then we could go to the gym and work out. This was at 6pm.

I woke up at 10:30pm. "You were unconscious," J said when I asked him why he hadn't woken me up. "You looked like you needed some rest, and besides I came in and asked you if you wanted to work out and you said you wanted to sleep."

It should be noted that I have no memory of this conversation.

So he went to the gym without me, and then did his walking without me. He cooked me dinner after I woke up, we watched TV for a while, and then we went back to bed, where I quickly became unconscious again and did not become un-unconscious until about 7:30am.

I guess I was tired. I feel much better today.
