Dear Journal, ...

It's been some time since I had some quiet time to sit down and just browse the internet, read a few chapters of stories I'm following and indeed update my own journal. I don't mind working 60 hour

I think that when we're faced with something that we're either scared or unsure of, we allow otherwise paltry obstacles to become impassable mountains. It's a normal reaction--at least for me! But, eventually we have to move on--I know your work is really busy right now, but is there any way you could take a couple of weeks of personal leave, find the apartment, and move out? Getting the house on the market was a great first step, but as you said yourself, you're still hiding behind it, pretending everything's okay (because it's frightening/embarrassing to admit to others that we have issues). I think it's time for another big step. You have to keep the momentum up, or, as you seem to be doing right now, you'll face stagnation and discontent.

You know, I'm looking the stuff I've written in my journal over and think: 'This isn't me. What happened to me?'

A friend of mine has invited me over to Oxford for Saturday. She said she's going to cook lunch AND dinner for me. She worries about me and wants to have a chat. Oxford is a nice town, lots of little cafe's. I love the university library and the gardens there too. Maybe I end up looking at a nice little apartment. That's going to be one exciting weekend...
