Black Beauty is very ill
Yes, my fantastic laptop went fucktarded on me. I'm housesitting for Sharon and am plodding around on her computer. It's very strange not having Black Beauty. It's already been a week since she broke and the outcome is only getting worse and worse. I called the computer shop and it doens't look good. I might even loose everything on it, which totally sucks because, stupidly, I haven't backed anything up for at least 6months. Very expensive lesson I'm learning right now.
Other than that, had my nephew's (Tyson) blessing a week or so ago, a few days after his 5th birthday, the son of my jailbird brother. I went up to the councellor at work again a few days before with the whole not coping. Even with that, it was not a good day. I had a screaming match with my brother before walking out. It also didn't help that I went to the blessing which found me surrounded by old 'friends'. All mormons, looing at me like I was the devil, and if they didn't know exactly what I was up to, I already know what they think of 'people like me'. So all up, a pretty emotionally fucked up day. Thank god for Deb when I went back to work the next day, she helps me put things back into a very 'the world sucks but it's better to laugh at it than let it creep under your skin' mind frame.
Absolutely fantastci news on the Dyke Drama front.
I was having heaps of trouble so have gone back to the somewhat more painful pen and paper writing which in the end has worked out fantastically, because my first sketchy draft is written. I'm now starting the transfer to the computer, editing and expanding it into a second draft. Yay, I'm so happy!
On more fantabulous news, Sarah has a fulltime traineeship in childcare. She started Monday and although she has been scared and confussed and absolutely exhausted throughout the week, she's loving it, and it is making everything just that little bit better. Her self-confidence is getting heaps better. It's almost as good as I remember it to be in high school when we first started dating. It's so good to see her so happy again.
