very brief update
hey guys. for the first time in forever i have a not sad or bitchy update. who ever would have thunk.
i had my one-year anniversary of my lupus diagnosis a few weeks ago. when i think about how sick i was then, i just... i kind of lose it a little. i am starting therapy to help with the anxiety, and depression, and learning how to cope with living with this illness. i'm going okay so far, but i am still mourning who i was and what could have been.
i still haven't figured out how to get divorced. with school happening, that is taking priority. i knew it would, but i'm okay with that. there are apparently legal groups that will help impoverished people do things like file for divorce and get the filing fees waived. seeing as how i am currently impoverished, this is a welcome help.
i've met someone who is pretty fantastic. we met in a group of organized nerds, and so far he has been just incredible. and we aren't even dating. in the almost-month that i have known him he has been kinder and more understanding and accommodating of me being sick than my exhusband ever was. he has stumbled and referred to me as his girlfriend. when i questioned it he said, "oh, um, i meant sexy ladyfriend." he's kind of adorable. and oh so smitten with me. and i am entirely smitten with him. mew.
so. i have made my little update and it is now time to bathe and leave the house so that i can write my essay in peace. the house is being worked on... it's been going on for over a month... still not done... it's loud here. i need to write. meh.
but anyways, i'm generally happy and things are good. i read you every day, livejournal, and i don't always comment, but i read you daily. <3
