Moving on...with Help From Ivanka Trump

I can't believe it's Monday already! The weekend flew by, and what a mixed bag of emotions over the weekend. For the Mistress's readers out there, you will recall the Mistress and the Boy-Toy called it quits after over tens years together when the love affair ended back in October. It was a positive thing, and we are still really good friends, more like family now. But he was still living at the Casa du Borghese since then. Alot has changed. The Boy-Toy left his job in politics and now works at a pr firm in downtown Philly and found a lovely apartment in the gayborhood near the antique district. So this weekend he moved out with the help of the Mistress, her house boys, and our good DC friend Patty Passaround. And of course Ivanka Trump. Not her per say, but from her shipment boxes I got from the store. I'm such a queen!!! Friday was spent packing, one thing the Mistress can do well! She got all his belongings packed while he and Patty were at the new place painting the walls with a first coat. Saturday was the move in the heat. And I didn't know till we got down in town that he was on the fourth floor of a townhouse!!! Did I mention I packed the boxes heavy? And there were four flights of stairs? And narrow halls? I thought oh shit! And we got a work out that's all I'll say. It wasn't a pretty picture of our wet shirts. We should have entered a wet tee shirt contest at one of the gay bars down there!!! It was a bit odd to see the boxes in the living room. Closure at last. Now we can move on to our new chapters. The Mistress meanwhile is now the head Mistress at the Casa and Patty asked when the turn style would be installed. She thinks she is soooo funny.




Since the Boy-Toy doesn't have his furniture yet, she gave up her favorite vintage Adirondack beach chair so he would at least have somewhere to sit. I also gave him the tables from the living room and a assortment of accessories to decorate with. Of course it being so hot, the Mistress broke in the chair first to take a break with a beer or two!



After what seemed like forever, we finally got everything up the damn stairs, and we also finished painting his bedroom, while Patty got his ceiling fan installed which will help cool that top floor apartment. Here is the view just outside of the Boy-Toys window.



Just down at the end of the block is this antique shop with these beautiful glass vases in the window. Hmmmmmmmmmm, these may be nice looking at the Casa, just perfect on the bedroom dresser.



After we were done moving we went and grabbed dinner and headed back to the Casa for showers and then went out to unwind in New Hope at the Raven resort. We must have been insane. The Mistress hit a wall around 1:30 which is rare for the Mistress to hang a evening up so early, and was looking at the back of her eyelids by 2! Even thought the Mistress has been "seeing" a couple men since the October split up, and her and the Boy-Toy are still good friends, it now feels like closure finally with all loose ends now tied up, and we can both move on with our lives. I think it will be alittle odd to come home to a quiet place and not see the Boy-Toy after all these years, but I'm sure the house boys will brighten my time. And the Casa is a little empty looking in parts. Reminds me of Mame Dennis's Beekmans Place after things got repossessed from the bank when she took a hit from the stock crash. Now the Mistress is already starting the re-decorating plans of the Casa du Borghese and starting this new chapter!!!!! Tootles!
