I get 1,000 hugs, from 10 million oriental rugs?
I'm up, again, at 0040, again, giving relationship advice to a 59 year old woman. Yeah, that's the headline for this particular update. That said, let's back up the last couple of weeks and then go from there.
So I'm living in Tucson. I am jobless, moneyless and, at the moment, partially legless. Definitely meinscus-less (suck it Webster's). I had my surgery last week. I was off crutches in 2 da--I mean the prescribed 4+ days that I followed to the letter because I learned my lesson last time. (Somebody get me a towel, that one is literally dripping with sarcasm). So the pain....annoying at worst, non-existent for the most part. I'm starting to lose any sort of anxiety over surgery at all. In fact, there's a couple of other formely moving parts on my body I'm considering having re-oiled. Anyways, that's done and over with and, theoretically, in the next 4 to 6 weeks I get back to running/being active (oh like I ever WAS!) sans proclamations of "ow ow fuckedy ow!".
And it wouldn't be an LJ entry without mention of the girlfriend that has basically made my world, all it's suckiness included, kinda awesome. I'm not going to wax poetic and ooze lovey-dovey verbosity all over this digital form because I've done that in several other entries and I'm fucking tired...but suffice it to say the 4+....well hell nearly 5 months now have been fantastic fun! And I don't just mean I've had a good time with it, though there's been plenty of that, I do in fact love this girl a lot more than I ever had a right to think I would. I miss her when I'm not with her, but have learned to enjoy the time I have with her instead of dreading the time that I'm going to be leaving.
Job-wise...I have a bunch of gigs coming up in the next few weeks with the band...should be LOADS of fun. AND....fingers, toes, elbows, knees etc...crossed, I have an interview for a Director of Music position at a church in PV this week! Could look to be a really awesome weekend all in all. I get to see Holly for a couple days, get my damn stitches taken out, band practice, possibly score a job, chill for Marissa's 21st and hopefully return to Tucson for a week with great amounts of awesomeness! Let's hope.
Oh and before I go, I promised an explanation of the headline. While I have a successful relationship with Holly (at least I think so...) my experiences in the past make me question whether I have the capacity to give relationship advice....particularly to someone nearly 3 times my age and of the opposite sex. Oh well, Judy keeps asking, I keep answering. If nothing else, maybe I can make her feel a little bit better about her failures and (limited) successes. Oh well, just can't wait to see everyone up in Prescott again in a few weeks.
