Quick "I got nudged" update....
Tiny update to stem the melodrama that was the last post:
* Random date potentials kind of fell out of the sky after said post. I'm being reserved, but optimistic.
* I "graduated" from therapy with my current therapist. I'm super ambivalent about this, and need to work through it at some length. But, after a follow up session in six weeks, I'll no longer be seeing the woman whom I've been seeing for over three years now.
* The kitchen has been completed for some time. I have pictures, but I'm not going to post them unless someone really wants to see them... it's just not as dramatic as the last re-finishing.
* The house still needs a lot of work, but it'll get there. I have faith in my ability to tackle large projects like that. The painting in the bathroom upstairs has to wait until spring though.
* I'm totally excited for the new Night V:tM game. I have a character whose primary color is pink. Like in-your-face neon pink. It's gonna be interesting.
* Garou is going well most of the time. My "fake stress" outweighs my real stress, and that's good.
* I got a B+ on my first midterm. This is good, especially considering how little I studied. (Yeah, I hate me too for that sometimes)
* I've spent an exorbitant amount of time re-shoring up a couple of friendships. (Also making a couple of new ones) Welcome back... just please don't try to monopolize my life. Thanks.
* Discovery of the week: It is possible to have my libido completely satisfied for over a week at a time. The concept of cuddling during said week is more than enough physical contact. Neat.
* I'm seriously considering career choices and issues related to the idea that I really miss doing paperwork. I know that sounds insane, but I'm a Virgo. I like paperwork. (Translation: I'm bored with my job, but it's funding my life, so meh)
* I have several new ideas concerning health things, and will need help to get them all sorted out. The physical recovery is step two now that step one (mental health recovery) is complete and I can say with certainty that it's not the depression (if it ever was). So, lots of brainstorming and tracking things for correlations to theories I have. I'm scared, but it's just a new step and those are totally allowed to be scary. It just needs to not stop me, is all.
* Went to the last day of the Renaissance Festival. Had a great time, and came to the realization that I can, even at my weight, look good half dressed and covered in metal. Also got several compliments on the other costume I put together for a friend. Must remember that I'm good at things. Must also remember that friends are awesome, and I totally have a bunch of them now.
Some of this will get written about later in more detail so I can figure things out and let people back in the loop. The rest is pretty self-explanatory or not something I feel the need to publicize yet (or ever).
But it'll do for now.
