Lately
Things have been going mostly well. My man is healing up nicely after his spill off the roof. There have been a few moments of melt down - you can't fracture your sacrum and expect it to just be smooth sailing. But we had a long, well, actually short but poignant conversation about it the other night and things seem to be going much better. I think he just needed to vocalize all his fears about what his "healed" status will be and when he'll achieve it. After a serious injury like that it's completely normal to fear never being back to "normal." I'm guessing he'll actually get to better-than-normal since healing from this will actually entail healing from a bunch of emotional stuff as well. But I'm glad we talked about it. The withdrawl that both of us were engaging in was really starting to wear on me.
I've been enjoying living here. Although I still have occassional schyzophrenia between happy and excited and shear terror over the entire concept. But it's happy and excited more and more. I'm feeling more comfortable here with more of my stuff here and every issue that Jason and I work through together makes me all the more comfortable.
We had a KICK ASS party here last Saturday for Jason's birthday. I was very pleased because it was my first official SG party, my first party as Jason's woman, and my first party as hostess in this house. And it KICKED ASS. The food was good. The cake was good. We had a drunken Englishman wonder off after passing out in the yard. There was a threesome in the bathroom. It didn't completely wind down until 5:30 in the morning when the last few people left, the people that were staying got into their made-up beds, and Jason and I went to bed. The next morning I made waffles and bacon while we cleaned up. Clean up only actually took about 2 hours with the floors and everything. Although apparently Jason's ex-girlfriend made off with the table runner. Jason said she had every right, she did make it after all. I said there needs to be a statue of limitations on when she is allowed to come into our house and just take anything she feels like. Weirdo.
My business is going well. I got two more new clients last week. I really like new clients. I like the newness and also the increased revenue. One of the new clients runs a natural healing school. I like her alot. She gave me a book that she wrote. I'm enjoying reading it.
I'm going to seriously implement a healing program for endometriosis. It's described in my aromatherapy book. It's not terribly intricate but it will take some time and dedication. Mostly I just have to massage my adomen three times a day with oil and then take alternating hot and cold baths every day. It will probably take about an hour to an hour and a half everyday. But I'm going to try it for a month and see if it helps. Something's got to help. I'm going to go broke buying advil and my insurance won't cover for me to have surgery again for this. Acupuncture really seems to help, but it's so expensive. I'll try the aromatherapy and then add back acupuncture as I can afford it.
I'm going to paint the downstairs room. We went and got paint color swatches yesterday. Jason says to look at the colors under the lighting down there and see what I like. He makes a good point, but it sure would have been nice to just have the decision made. I'm going with a buttery cream color for the walls, a bright green for the desk and a bright blue for the closet. I'm quite excited! I'm also going to get some flooring. Apparently, all the money we spend we get to take off the rent. Rock the house. We're also going to take re-doing the bathroom into our own hands since Jason's dad isn't being what one would call proactive about it. Although, to be fair, I'm not sure how much of that is the dad not being proactive and how much is Jason not being proactive. It'll be nice to have it done though. It's not real fun to take leisurely baths with trashbags keeping the shower walls together!!
I'm also engaging in a serious effort to escalate the lawn status from a formal situation to a minor embarrassment. I've been watering for about 45 minutes most nights. I haven't done anything to the back yard, but the front yard is actually starting to perk up a little. Jason's ex made a comment about our house looking like squatters lived in it, and that really motivated me to work on the front yard. It also motivated me to punch her in the face, but that's a whole nother issue!!
Anyways, I'm really enjoying being a domestic goddess at our house. And now that Jason is back to work, I actually have time here to myself so I'm getting some work done again. Packing is ensuing. I think I'm going to plan a move date of July 15th or 16th depending on people's schedules. If anyone is willing and able to help, the more the merrier. Since Jason can't do too much physical labor still yet, he said he'd buy the beer and bourbon. Maybe we'll have a cook-out or something after the moving as a way to show appreciation. We can have watermelon and popcorn!! Maybe I'll even make a cake and/or homemade ice cream. It can be like a party.
