I just realized my last post was the one announcing that I went back to playing World of Warcraft and then silence for a while... Well, I wasn't just playing WoW for all that time.
We came back to London at last. Toronto was great, but it was so good to be reunited with the dogs after over three and a half months and to introduce Blake, who's now well into his fourth month, to the doggies. We had a small pizza party on Sunday and got to meet some of our good friends who we've also missed.
Now "real" life begins. I have to take care of a three months old baby and two big Great Danes. That's quite a lot of work. We also decided that I should work from home for a while, and work for the next few months means writing and working on various projects (children's story/comic, movie script and other bits and bobs). I'm trying to settle into this new routine and have done quite well with that considering we only returned on Friday night and also still have lots of unpacking to be done with.
Do I miss game design? Very much. I also miss being in an office environment with some cool people to hang out with and chat to. But with that said I do look at things with rose tinted glasses. Not having office politics or bosses to answer to is always nice, not to mention no commute and an incredibly flexible schedule (which it has to be when you take care of a baby).
The dogs have accepted Blake very well. Old Kato is always good at adapting to change. Younger Leo was always a bit neurotic. Us being gone for nearly four months has only made him more clingy and needy and the presence of the baby made matters worse. Leo is used to being the baby and suddenly we're making funny noises to a new creature. Though he wasn't aggressive, he did bark a bit in distress first, but very quickly he calmed down when he noticed we still play with him and Blake is, after all, another human for him to love so he actually gets more love now. Blake enjoys staring at the dogs and occasionally touch them. He seems, so far anyway, not to be bothered by the stinky steam of death that comes out of their mouths.

"Yes? The boss is resting, please come back another time."The five of us are finally together. When we're all in the same room together, that's true happiness. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
I like icing, so bring it on!

How exciting! ADORABLE picture, by the way! It is wonderful how many gay couples are choosing to start families and live the life straights have hogged for so long. Not to mention how commonplace this is becoming! I live in a city 2 hours from Dallas, Texas USA and on my favorite morning radio chat show there is a DJ named Chris Jagger who is openly gay, in a committed relationship and who just recently adopted a newborn baby girl. He has been embraced with open arms by the public of Texas, no less! I love it! I am a bisexual (but I lean more to the lesbian end of the old Kinsey scale) and I can't wait to meet a woman, settle down and have a family with her! I wish you all the best of luck, good health and a lifetime of happy memories!
