Friends,
Despite the fact that things suck, I'm feeling pretty empowered! I'm feeling strong. This period of forced solitude has made me realize a few things about myself that are quite a pleasant surprise!
The MOST important: Through all of the shit that's been going on, I still am madly in love with Rob. I know 100% that it is him, will always be him and can only see him as the father of my children. I'm smiling even as I write this about my blonde haired, green eyed, six foot-two man that I love. He is my heart.
Also, I've realized that I am fine by myself. Of course I knew this already and have always been the type of person who enjoys their own company, but I dont HAVE to let shitty circumstances ruin eveything else for me. I guess what I'm saying is, even though I recognize the world as a shitty place and the people who live in it as mostly ass-backwards stupid, I can still triumph.
I can do anything. I wanted to turn our "Lola Room" into an office and it's about half way there. First I had to demo a 6 foot sofa to get it out of the basement in pieces and I did. All I needed was a hammer, an electric saw blade, and some deeply burried anger and resentment.
Then I drive to IKEA myself, in the rain, dark, and rush hour on a Friday evening. Got lost a few times but made it one piece. Bough a desk and put the son of a bitch together myself. I LOVE IT!
I never was very good with computer components but I scouted a 40 dollar used LCD monitor, and some bad ass computer speakers and hooked that shit up!!!
I cooked myself a down home country meal of fried chicken and wheat corn bread. Finished my homework and started on legal proceedings for my man.
NOW WHAT BITCHES!? The best part is, I KNOW this is only a fraction of what I can do given the time and motivation.
My motivation: Robby coming home to a nice place to work and know that he has nothing to worry about when he's away.
God, I know you throw some crazy shit at us, but we're handling it. As much as I complain about what other people DONT have to deal with, I know youre looking out and we will both have our day.
