Winter is finally here and I am grateful that I have a home (actually 3), kids that I am so fucking proud of and grateful for, a partner I never could have imaged existed, and this wonderful adventure that is my life.
I invited my sweetheart to join us for Xmas eve and his response was ambiguous enough that I took it as a no, and asked Lonny if he would like to come. Then the day before he decided he did want to go and I was confronted with a situation that makes me really uncomfortable … but sometimes it is good to push through discomfort.
nd I wanted to get the kids out of town rather than awkwardly “celebrate” a controversial holiday with a bland meal in Boulder.
I love a grand romantic gesture.
So far as rollercoasters go, today I am on a gentle joyride and I’m really happy.
A thing happens >> I have lots of feelings >> time passes >> I accept whatever it is >> feel fine again >> repeat forever.
ether every summer for a group camping trip. Each year becomes increasingly more challenging due to everyone’s busy schedules.
Now that I am in a really wonderful relationship and my boys are happy and thriving, I am suddenly completely without men. I experienced what it was like to truly enjoy my own company. With no one to expend energy onto I spent it all on myself, and I loved it.
Even though we weren’t comfortable, we really had to get along with each other. Given how much things have changed in our living situation with me all over the place at all times, it felt right to connect.
The fact that I didn’t get sick on this trip is simply proof that vaccines work.
