Week of joy
I've been doing pretty well lately, working on being more assertive, confident, and generally getting stuff done. I've been succeeding a little, as far outward behavioural changes go, and have achieved a lot more than that psychologically.
Which has really made this the perfect week to spend with Fido, my significant other. He's here with me in cambridge and we're enjoying our first proper try at living together. He has a week off work and we're spending it here, relaxing, reading, watching whole seasons of tv shows, and of course, playing butt-fuck-loads of tomb raider.
The lovely housemates are also having a good week, it seems. By lovely coincidence, they've spent the last couple of days in London, giving me and Fido the run of the whole house. It's been amazing to just... share my life with him like this. It's not something we're ever really done before. Spending weekends together it all just gets so... focused.
Fido and I have had some problems later, and there's been a lot of re-evaluating and a few changes. But I think this time together has really strengthened us.
Also? remind me not to drink that much cider on an empty stomach again. This evening was glorious, but tonight has been a bit less enjoyable.
