So, other than the fact that I spent most of Easter crying and sleeping I had a pretty good weekend. . .
Monday was good. . . work was not too insane. . . pizza and hugs with Nate were wonderful. . . What a Girl Wants with Leslie was too cute for words. . . hopefully our apartment meeting tonight will go alright. . .
It's been a long time since I sat down and wrote a post of any real substance. Life has taken me on many twists and turns in the last year that I had never imagined that it would. I am different than I was eight plus months ago when I left Dayton. I have grown and changed.
Returning to UD and to everyday life is hard. I feel in so many ways like I no longer fit in or belong. I'm a much more happy and emotionally stable person than I used to be. I am more capable and prepared to handle anything that life might throw at me.
Escaping from my life and returning home to the safety and security my family provides me with allowed me to face some tough realities. I was out of control. I wasn't at peace with myself. Happiness kept eluding me. Taking mood stabilizers and anti-depressants for the rest of my life isn't fun, but it's something I need and that's okay.
On the home front. . . Loui turns 8 tomorrow. Megs is going to Arizona. Ian's going to Oregon State. My Mom retired in March and I think my Dad is going through a bit of a mid-life crisis.
I think that's all for now. I promise to update more often. . . later all!!!
