Impulsive Development

So it looks like I'll have a visitor for Christmas. From Florida. This was decided and arranged yesterday... lol It's certainly not the first time I've been so impulsive... and it's not the first time I've invited somebody for Christmas that was otherwise going to be alone. It IS the first time somebody has let me pay their way since they are a student and have absolutely no money.

But... Boomer and I have been friends a long time, so I hope pride won't be too huge an issue. Most of my friends would do much the same for me... I'm just glad when they let me do it for them. :) Besides, the flight wasn't all that horribly expensive, or I may not have been able to pull it off.

He flies in tomorrow night, so I have a lot of getting ready to do. I still need to wrap presents, clean the apartment... and just mebbe switch out the Autumn decor with the Winter stuff. *grin* Not that I imagine he'll care, but still. Thankfully, they're turning us loose at 2 pm today, so I'll have a li'l extra time to work on all of the above.

I'm pretty excited on a number of levels... One: he'll be my first visitor in my new home, and I get to put my guest room to good use. Two: I haven't seen Boomer for... geez, almost 12 years, when I got out of the Navy. Oh, we've been back in touch and chatted regularly for a few years now, but it will be good to see him again.

Third... well, I won't think too much on third. Things don't tend to turn out well when I overthink them. The only fact I'm sure of is that Boomer is a good friend, a good guy (despite his best efforts), and that I genuinely trust and care about him as such. Anything else (or not) can be figured out as we go. He'll be here for a week... and I may know no more after that than I do now, or I may be able to better define our connection. Either way, I intend to enjoy his visit and not stress anything. :)
