So, remember that awning Taylor was building me the other day?

Lord, oh lord, but am I in love with it.

It’s not finished.  The wood frame needs to be painted to match the balcony and for now the “cover” is a tarp when eventually we’ll make one from real awning/umbrella material.  But it’s perfect.

It shades me from the sun and allows me to sit out here with the laptop during the day, getting off my desk so I don’t feel all trapped and stuck in the same place, day after day, hour after hour.  It gives me a place to sit, like tonight, in candlelight with a glass of wine and type away.

And, to top it all off, today he built me a table/desk thingy attached to one corner of the balcony itself.  Like a mini corner desk, that takes up little room but gives me space to put my stuff and keeps my laptop up high enough I can use it without hunching over.

I.

Love.

That.

Man.

It’s not perfect.  It’s not brand new, made in a factory.  It’s made from spare lumber our neighbor didn’t want anymore and a $10 tarp.  But, to me, it’s a piece of heaven.

We’ve even got a tiki torch and little paper lanterns strung up and wind chimes hung to make me happy.

I’ve got yogachillmeditationi’moldshutup music on the itunes.

Life is so fucking good I almost can’t stand it.

Not a great picture cuz flash ruins the ambiance and my camera takes crappy night shots without flash but it’ll have to do. :)

I think I’ve thanked that heavenly man at least 32 times.

It is good to be loved.

Not that he has to do things for me to know I’m loved but there is, admittedly, something wonderful about someone doing something so huge, just to make you happy.

So, yanno, I bought him an iphone.  :D

I also ordered myself a LELO Siri, an electrocute the pussy vibe, some more massage and bath stuff, a big bullet vibe I’ve been curious about and…  hmmm…  something else.  Oh, yeah, some candles.  I go thru candles like nobodies business.

And that, I think, is about all I have tonight. I’m wide awake but know I should start thinking about sleep soon…

Night night!
