A brief conversation that reflects some of my state.

A co-worker today asked me how I was doing and I talked about how my dad is doing; about how he's just really not there much any more; about the five minutes of lucidity that he's granted a day. Goodheartedly, he said Well, maybe it will get better.

It told him, Unfortunately, it won't. It ( Read more... )

So, what happened today:

• Woke up late.
• Went with klicrai to Slave to the Needle and got ring tattoos. Pictures later when I pull off the plastic wrap.
• Christina and I got married at the King Co. Courthouse with Tami, Jim, John, Kelci, and Deb as witnesses.
• All of us then went to Saffron Grill and had really good food

Yay! *bounce*

I'm writing a longer post that is a general update of the last six months. But I wanted to write this one separately so that it doesn't get lost in the noise.

I'm engaged to klicrai! We were thinking of trying to plan a wedding and realized that it would be too much stress for both us and our guests. So, we're planning on taking a roller coaster tour ( Read more... )

The stress from the Divorce Mediation last Wednesday suppressed my immune system enough such that I got sick from about mid-Wednesday to early Saturday. Most of Saturday I was doing fine. But then on Sunday, I was very definitely -not- doing okay. I seem to be mostly over it. I've been very congested, rather achy, and been having difficulty ( Read more... )

I am surviving this heat by laying down in a room with a portable air conditioner. Yay for technology.

klicrai and I are set up at the new place. We even have even have monotmoe here for the next 3 weeks. Thanks to roostur, sine, lerryn, and echoeversky for all the help. Except for Eric, we all went to Taste of India afterwards, joined by some_other_word and it was good ( Read more... )

Hmmm. Yet again, it's been a while since I've posted. I'm still not sure as to why. I have ideas about what to post, it's just that when I sit down to post them, the ideas dry up or seem idiotic. This is, of course, to me rather than you. You folk are charitable and better judges of my ramblings than I. I wonder if I've let some sort of ( Read more... )

I rarely get sick, so I'm a bit confused. Aren't I supposed to be feeling better by now rather than having each erg of energy that I manage to generate be drained away soon afterwards? Blech. This being sick thing sucks, I don't like it ( Read more... )

Somehow this weekend, I managed to not only have an allergy attack but also get sick.

I was very tired on Friday and decided to cancel everything I was doing on Friday night, Saturday morning/afternoon, and Saturday night. I slept all of Friday and much of Saturday. I had the energy to watch Waking Life on Saturday night but not much else. I'd ( Read more... )

My friend, pattytoo asked me how I am doing emotionally. This is a rather complex question, so I'm going to answer it in three parts. All three parts are existing simultaneously. I've never said I am simple. :)

1. The first part is something that I sent to cindygerb this weekend. It's a part of the journey of recovery:Oh, soulsmatch, why did you have to demand ( Read more... )
