A day of little achivements
I raised my arm above my head!
I washed my hair with both hands! (getting to shower was Thursday’s accomplishment)
I put on my contacts! (okay, I lost my glasses last night and can’t find them anywhere)
I wore a bra! (too much info, eh?)
And… I drove my car! (we’ll just avoid left-handed turns for a while)
Whee!
Had dinner with a couple of Chris’s friends tonight. He’s been staying with them since the big breakup and housesat while they were gone (it was their lumpy little couch that has made so many appearances in my recent entries). It was a rather quiet affair–everybody seemed to be exhausted, but it was nice being around people and getting out of the house. I’m tired of feeling like an invalid.
Chris leaves for Mexico tomorrow morning. It’s still just so unreal, that only three months ago, he was going to be getting married in a week. May 13th. And now he’s not. I still have their “save the date” magnet, they broke up right before the invitations were sent. It still makes me so sad at times, although I’m still royally pissed at her and can barely be tolerant when I see her. It’s a good thing. It really is, but oh, being there is going to be hard on him. I’m trying to think of clever little emails that will cheer him up, or distract him, but so far, I haven’t come up with anything.
Anyway, he’ll be gone for about 11 days. Home for 3 days for graduation (he’s going to walk with us! I just about squeed when he told me, and I try very hard not to *squee* in RL). And then off to Asia, and that will be the end of the Julia-n-Chris years.
But we’re not thinking about that now. Better to concentrate on the pile of paper work that I have to do for the new job and the paper I have to finish before I can graduate. It never ends, does it?
And the million dollar question… Do I really want it to?
YAY for a day of small accomplishments. Sometimes we have to look at these or we could go insane. How are you healing? I hope you’re doing well. I think about you a lot lately even if I haven’t commented much.
Good for you!!!!!!!
