This past week and weekend has been filled with much drama and pain; however, something important did happen outside of all this.
I graduated with a Masters of Arts in Training & Development from Roosevelt University. It took me two and half years to do this, and this was something I did for myself and something I take pride in. My mom, step-dad Dana, Tricia and her son Christian were there for me, and really outside of my grandparents and Dad being there it was perfect. Tricia drove me home and she stayed with me the rest of the night, which was great. Even better than that is that we are making plans for her to come up and spend a week or so with me before her classes start up again. This of course is the best holiday gift I could get. Granted Bug, won’t really like having the baby at the apartment, but Mischief seems to like him just fine.
On a side note, I think the only creatures capable of true unconditional love are animals. They don’t care how bad your day has been, of if you are sick. They love you all the time, regardless of anything and come out to show their support when life is hard, because they just seem to know. Bug and Mischief cuddled me all weekend, and only let me alone when it was time to go to bed, and only then because they are not allowed to be in the bedroom. Having to sleepy cats on you while reading a book, sipping hot coco and having the TV on to it’s a White Christmas makes it easier to not have fits of depression and bouts of tears and anger.
