I've had a pretty decent weekend full of booze, adult conversation/experience, gluttony, and productivity...it was an excellent way to put a rollercoaster of a week to rest...
I thought life was smiling on me, at one point, but I couldn't be so lucky...since I can't have the closure that seemed so within reach, I just need to ensure that I maintain the progress already gained...
I've been considering more options at work to relieve stress...taken a few steps in a direction that seems much more my speed...i'm hoping by eliciting more small changes that I can stay on a more positive, healing path...every small victory, every small effort is such a big thing at this stage...they may seem insignificant to other people, but they're so important for me...they're my motivation for continuing this great undertaking...
I made my first "serious" laptop repair by replacing the CMOS battery in my computer...then, I had to make another because I broke the plastic piece that secures the battery...one $5 battery and some electrical tape later, I have a functional laptop again...i'm really, really proud of myself...
my parents had a couple of cracker barrel gift cards..so, I took them out to eat tonight...we feasted like mad...
I took my dad shopping for things, and I picked up a copy of Lego LotR for my mother...my parents seem happy tonight...it feels so rare these days....
while i'm not ready to start another work week, I feel that I can handle whatever it has to throw at me..for now, anyway...or at least until another round of emotionally crippling PMS starts...
but hey, it can't rain all the time...
