Hookers and Yahoo





I had just had my baby 
Isn't that always the way?
Uncomfortable for over 9 months.
Insecure and tired.
fat and alone
I knew it wasn't the first
second, or third time, 
but it was the time I actually saw proof.
Left open on the shared computer, the emails.
setting up times.
My heart broke and it was the last time I ever trusted him.
ever.
I printed the emails and saved them.
I confronted and showed them
gaslighting....
"you are crazy. I was just looking. I would never do anything. you are so paranoid...."
and the best, 
"you made me do this, because of your insecurities....I'm never good enough"
I turned a blind eye after that.  I was told I was unattractive. I was called a nag. I was left to fend for myself, instead of being together ,we were now apart.
Very apart.
I had to get tested. I had to not ask questions so that I was not told I was a crazy person. My heart and mind KNEW there were more than 2 times.  I knew it but could do nothing....
except wonder why I was never enough for him.

Now I know....
it wasn't me,
but it scarred me nonetheless
years and years 
until I realized 
it really
wasn't me.

The secret life I lived.

Off My Chest ...Bag of Dicks



I have been holding this in along with a few other things for about 4 years now. And that is way too long to have these feelings of animosity; it has really become something that I am ready to let go of. They do not deserve my energy, but everyone heals at their own pace.

The ex: 
Fucking abusive narcissistic dick of a person. I would like to think that he was not always that way, but in hindsight I always knew he was, from the first altercation, to his dealings with his previous ex and child. I should have known, but I was blind to that at the time. 
It happens to the best of us. 
 His attitude towards change, life, and people that didn't suit him was abominable and I really should have seen it. The fact I stayed as long as I did is insane, but abuse is like that. Gaslighting, lying, and then me ignoring it all for 15 years says a lot about me too. Jesus, I hope I have learned and acknowledge why he was put into my life. I am still embarrassed to admit I allowed myself to put up with prostitutes, lies, treating my children as he did, treating our friends the way he did (then blaming them), treating his family the way he did (then telling me they were all assholes and for me to never associate with them) and the cutting off of his entire social circle.  One can only chart that up to mental health for so long. When a person is unwilling to get help and blames everyone else....that's abuse.  Now we live with the fact that he cut off his daughter at 15 years old. How does a mom explain this? People say , "Oh she will figure it out." Well, yes she will, and she did, but the better thing should have been that she NEVER had gone through this. For an adult, the Father, to say, "She should be making more of an attempt to talk to me, she should be apologizing to me." That is absolutely ridiculous. YOU ARE THE ADULT. THE PARENT.  He gets what he deserves. He has missed his beautiful daughter's life so that he could trty to punish me. That is a piece of shit.
 I'm ok saying that now.

 He turned me into a person I never wanted to be. 
A person who no longer trusted, and who questioned love and life, who ended up having to lie to protect myself and daughter and to make our lives better and safe.  Among the things he did to us, the mental abuse was only part.  I learned a lot and am thankful for the people who stayed in my life during and post all of this malarkey.  If he can cut people from his life as he does/did....he gets what he asked for.  I will always feel bad for his family, father ( who he is exactly like), and friends who he hurt as he did.  They will never know the entire story. He can say and do anything he wants about us now and I could care less.  People who know him know and people who know us know too.  And lord help whoever comes into his life and buys his bullshit. Because it will happen to them too, eventually.

The Friends:
The friends. The friends I thought I had and thought I knew. Fuck all of those people, and why did I even let it bother me. It did bother me. It bothered me that I thought they were friends and I had confided in them and that was the first mistake. I had thoughts in the beginning that these people were not my people, I should have stayed at a distance at that point.
 The woman/girls were not who I would have associated with. The men were not either. But at the time, it worked for me. I felt accepted by the guys, never by the women. Cliquey and pretentious they were, but I still tried. Later to find out, they never gave 2 shits about me. 
My mistake. 
That won't happen again.
 Never did they offer and condolences or check-ins on me. That's fine, as I've moved on, I now know they are where they are to be and so am I, with my family. One thing I won't tolerate now is to be associated with them as happened the other day. Some said to me, " I don't associate or trust anyone who is friends with _______." Before I could say, "wait a minute, that is not me....I am NOT friends with those people " I was sent on my way.  
hello?  
not me.
Myssi, there is your full sign and proof that they were never your friends and on top of that are most likely not the " righteous people" they think they are.
I am thankful for MY friends who stuck by and continue to be in my life. The people I love and enjoy and we laugh and check in on each other, without judgement. Those are good people.
Those are people of good nature.
Too much energy was really wasted the last 4 years, 
too many tears.
I've watched my daughter grow into a person who is pretty strong, yet has started out her adulthood with hatred, mistrust and also left empty and void of the love she needed as a young girl.
Thankful for the man who is in our life who shows her the most love and acceptance she has yet to experience and I hope that helps her and I hope she sees that not all men are bad.
I hope it helps her to see me, her mom, able to love someone without fear or suspicion.  To be able to have friends of any gender over to the house and enjoy company. To not have to sneak out to see long time friends... now they can come to the house and knock on the door....and be welcomed in....with no fear.
The energy wasted I can never get back.
Starting over has been exhausting 
this year will be freeing 
no more wasted emotions on people who bring me no joy.
good riddance.

again for the people in the back
good riddance
may you reap what you sow

Gaslighting ....get over yourself



My control has been out of the ball park lately, Seriously.
Out
of 
the
park.
I'd like to tell you my crying factor has subsided, but no....
that is still hanging tight.
I can cry just thinking about shit...
Nothing even has to happen
but whatever.
One thing I no longer need to cry about??
My life.
My life is good.
but what surprises me, still, is how people want to gaslight.
in case you are confused:

"Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that often occurs in abusive relationships. It is a covert type of emotional abuse where the bully or abuser misleads the target, creating a false narrative and making them question their judgments and reality."

People are dicks.
Honestly, we all are sometimes.
Holding onto anger and punishing is silly.
Be strong.
A long time ago a lovely therapist told me to let go of the things I cannot control.
It brings great relief.
She said I needed to try to understand that that what people are putting towards me is not about me, but about them...
and I laughed.
It made sense....
All those years, I knew I wasn't perfect, but I also knew I was 
kind
beautiful
an empath
and 
honest....
Until I couldn't be anymore.
I also learned that the people who matter most
ie: kids 
They will find out the truth, 
they figure it out
good.
That doesn't matter but what does is that they know I was there,
every damn day,
every day that I could barely get my own ass out of the bed or my mind straight
I got up
and did what I knew was best 
I fought for them and loved them
and allowed them time to hate and to heal
I think that is pretty fucking awesome.
so,
when someone says
"I think you’re a horrible role model for children
 I don’t agree with your way of parenting. I never have..."

I bite my tongue, shake my little head and laugh

as childish as it can be.  it sums it all up




gaslighting no more.
The power of me and my knowledge and my freedom and my love
I'm good.
real good


ABCDE....

Make a list

It's been a huge month.
I set some goals and attempted to follow through and I'll tell you why.
I have this friend who carries around a pocket full of post-it notes and on each one is a thing he needs or wants to get done. He pulls them out multiple times a day and shuffles through them and every once in a while he throws one away....sometimes there are 2 things on one post-it....in that case he scribbles one line out and puts back in the pocket....
On a great day I'll hear him say
"That's IT!!! Empty Pockets!" 
he wipes his hands on his pants and smiles
"done"
Then it starts over.

Seems simple.
I have been more than overwhelmed with:
Covid
Work
Never-ending Divorce
House Hunting with no $$
Teenager
My Hair
Running
Working Out
My never-ending Period
Relationship

None is horrible, but as a compiled basket
it's a lot.
SO....
I said, Come on Girl...This is your life now....get yer shit together and move forward.
First thing first....
My beautiful family arranged for Sissy to come for 2 nights and just sit on the couch and all of us be happy together and it was divine!

Me and Sissy....

then I was told it's time to buy myself something....something simple
I bought run pants.

Then I started my list....
I have to start planning for our future....and that means cleaning up the house I am losing and start packing for a house or life in the future.
20 years of crap is a lot....
I often wish it would just disappear.
But no, I can do this.
I can

So this week....
my list is made and I giggled.
I moved a lot of our stuff to a rental space
and even drove a big truck to do it. 
in hindsight I wish I would have sorted the stuff out a bit more 
but oh well....

I have 20 more days until Tulum
and I can't wait.
I have some big news too
But I am going to wait.

it wasn't fast


 I just have to laugh...seriously....How long can this divorce last!???

papers have been filed....now I have to wait before I can buy house, buy a car, remove him from my insurance, shit....I can't even rent anything at this point.

it's insane.....but.  whatever.  It is going to be fine.  But a year and a half for a divorce between 2 people who really have nothing is ridiculous.  We have spent more in lawyer fees than we probably make in a year.   Because of him.  I'll leave that there.   I was willing to give him half of everything, the house ....etc....but he fought it.   

whatever.

So, here I am.

waiting still

I have said this a million times. I laugh that it seems so simple 

I just want to live and be happy.  I want to laugh and take care of the people in my life.

I want to have abs,

I want to have a house in  CR...

I want to have sex, good sex,

I want my kids to be happy,

I want my ex lovers to see my beauty....

I want to travel,

I want to be able to ride a gravel bike with my friends ...and not die....

Soon.  soon they say.

I dont want to buy a 450k house, (which still needs updated)

 because that is all that is available....

I'd rather live in a shack in CR

I dont want to rent

I want my kid to be happy

I want my lover to be happy

I want my friends to still love me

I don't want people to say "wow that was fast"

because....

it was not fast.   it was miserably slow.   10 years of the 19 were mostly sad, and self deprecating, and not living life to my fullest.    so ,NO ! it wasn't fast.   Shut your mouth.   Let me live ...


ok....

my rant for the night.

What? 100 days Left?

Did you hear?
Only about 100 days of 2020 left
Should I rejoice 
or cry.
Just this morning I woke up and thought
"when Summer gets here I have so much I want to do"
then....
I remembered its's 2020 and Summer is over.
stupid covid


Costa Rica last year in October....
It is the place which calls my heart on a daily basis.
So, as I sit typing this and glance at my vision board I realized I have not completed a damn thing this Covid season.
Short of "saving the world" in NYC
which was quickly forgotten....
 and replaced by divorce, living a smaller life,
 and trying to figure out how I can live and survive in CR.
I have really accomplished nothing.

I posted the picture to keep me somewhat accountable and positive
I was reminded how beautiful I am and that maybe I don't see what others may see.
It makes me laugh because I will forever be self conscious, even at 52.
Sure I put on a bikini....
but I also don't want to see pictures.
Sure I work out,
but I also can't seriously commit to a huge plan in order to see change.
I find myself wanting to sit with my Loves instead of stressing at the gym.
I'd rather walk my dog and clear my head than do sit-ups and push ups
Let's be honest ....
anyone who knows me knows I'd rather have a beer than do anything
ha...
truth

My divorce is hopefully getting closer to the end
seeing how it has been a year 
so, my time can be spent on more productive thoughts than 
that.

I can't wait to see what the second half brings and the day I can let it all go,
to only look back on the good and be able to be who I am without a monitor

Weightlessness, no gravity
Were we somewhere in-between?
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's-eye view of San Luis
Oh, highway boys all sleeping in
With their dirty mouths and broken strings
Oh, their eyes are shining like the sea
For you, the queen of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's-eye view of San Luis
Cutting through the avenues
I'd always find my way to you
Beside the hook, the hammer lies
And fumbling round in the smoke
Spending time chasing ghosts
Hold me down, hold me down, child
Hold me down, hold me down, child
California called you queen
With your golden hair and magazine
Were you somewhere in-between?
Fast asleep, a flying dream
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's-eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's-eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's-eye view of San Luis
I'm a ghost of you, you're a ghost of me
A bird's-eye view of San Luis

broken nose and a WTF



I kept wondering why she was pacing back and forth. 
I glanced out of the corner of my eye and she was walking back and forth and in circles. 
Thats not like her, I thought.
As the realtor and I were finishing our discussion I heard K yell,
"Olive, holy shit...OLIVE!!!!"
As I turned she was wobbling and went face first into a tree by the edge of the driveway, 
then into a pile of  large landscape rocks.
seizure.
I yelled,"call 911" over and over again 
until I could hear the realtor giving a clear address and saying Olive's age and the situation.
Kevin was trying to turn her over, but I knew we should not move her too much, so I pushed him away and carefully flipped her 
and held her head as she screamed a primal weird scream....
her eyes looking at nothing, but everything.  
It only lasted about 10 seconds, but seemed longer.
I cradled her head and made sure she could not move it.  
I felt her nose gently....
broken for sure.
I looked at her ears,
no blood yet.
the egg all ready forming on her forehead.
The next several hours were spent at the emergency room....
standard scans and blood work.
I texted her dad before I even left the area it happened.
K...came in, 
then we decided he should leave so that when dad came he could come in with no issue.
Covid and the ER keeps people from having visitors, but because Olive was under 16...both parents or care givers, are allowed.
As K left Olive cried.
She asked me ....
"did you text dad?
why isn't he coming or texting"

He must be busy and not have his phone....

you know he would be here.....

One hour, two hours, 3 hours.....
still no answer.
"mom ....why isn't dad coming?"


well...as we were finishing our paper work....
he texted....I told her this....
"He called...He didn't have is phone...he isn't near home so he can't get back....he loves you....and is worried."



but what he really said to me...
"WTF?....I'm not near home.....and Where were YOU when this happened???
(standing next to her)
Hmmmmmmmm
sure.....makes me wonder what the fuck is going on over there"

he didn't ask how she was, or that he was going to hurry home to see if she is ok...
or....let me talk to her ....
wow that is really scary.


he said .......
Hmmmmmmm 

and questioned the situation.

my heart broke...
broke because this is not who I was with...
or was it?
It broke because I cannot and will not be able to continue to explain and cover
It broke for Olive.


She's tucked into bed with a broken nose, a concussion and a huge lump on her head.
I'm checking on her continuously ....
the dog at her side.

I want her to know I Love her so much
we all do.....



but today....
I feel different
not my love for her....
but my hope....
for love

Offer Smoffer

 lord have mercy.   I am so done with all of this,   I do realize I am a nurse and it is not appropriate for me to express this....but I wanna see live music, hug a stranger, go to the damn bar and sit at the bar instead of the parking lot.........

but....

whatever.

It has been quite comical living in this tiny space.  I am living with about 3 outfits, 25 pairs of shoes (because I couldn't leave my shoes) and one shared bathroom.   

Im thankful that Kevin has let us in....made room for us and said he will take care of us.  ( don't need anyone to take care of us, but it is divine and lovely and makes my heart happy to know he is there).

I have heard from my lawyer that the "ex" is going to accept the offer.   

THE OFFER.

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Smart on his part.

Of course he is going to win....he doesn't need to deal with me, who he despised, he gets the house and most of everything I have worked for and saved .

(note to people.....if you marry up....never have your own shit or investments...that way if you split you can half of theirs regardless of your input)

to the other half. 

get a prenuptial

Anyways, we will discuss that later. But sooner the divorce is finalized the sooner I can actually live.

You all know that one cannot buy a house , car , change insurance, move....etc....without divorce papers.   It's one of the dickiest moves ever.  They know you are stuck....if you are on the short ghetto side of divorce....just refuse to sign the divorce papers and you can live for basically free until the court says you have to sign.    For me...I have to continue to pay for all of his shit until he signs.    But, I'm good.  I got an extra job and am maintaining mine, the kid's and apparently his lifestyle for now.  And Im actually not too angry.   Just more done.  Move the fuck on.   Let me go.


On the flip

I'm happy.   Kevin is everything I have wanted, and how this happened I have no idea and don't really want to question it.   I just know I deserve it, and so does he.   Coming home every day to a person who is honestly happy to see me is the best.  We laugh, touch, kiss and do things together.   So simple....laugh, kiss the cheek and touch their butt once in a while and you are in.

Hopefully soon this divorce will be done.  I will lose my forever home and most of the stuff ( this is what happens when you are the spouse with the most money and independence regardless of gender ...this is part of women's liberation I suppose) I lose the goods and money, but gain a life I deserve with people who want to be around me.  Maybe a move is in my future.   Denver? Florida? Nashville? Connecticut?  I don't know.   but it will be something.

Together



Life is so weird.
awesomely weird.
let me just tell you .....
like you care.....
Recently I lost a best friend
 ....or more.....
a love..... 
a piece of my heart....
just like that.
no longer.
"never contact me again"

I am who I am....I will never leave people I love....ever.
but this hurt.....


In the interim....I am working and laughing.
My kid is blossoming into this amazing soul 
with big thoughts and opinions, 
beauty that just pours out of her.... 
a mouth like a mini sailor 
and I adore her.


I laughed as she went on and on about how MY life should be evolving....
How Kevin is her "G" 
and she is moving to San Fran ( regardless of cost)
I admire her .

As I move through this divorce ...going on a year + now.
I know I am good.
I think a lot about how things could have been different....
but it doesn't matter.
why waste time on that
I think about how people change and that is something we should all realize...
and that is OK
My life in this little tiny place is happy
I have a lover who adores me and we mesh...
we laugh...we talk...we cook...we do things....
together.  
It is so great.
the kid is happy 
She is involved and present ....
this place is tiny, yet she is always present
unlike the big house....
she is here....
smiling....
and her friends are here too
I love it.
I feel like a mom..... a parent

When this is done....
and I can delete all the messages and pictures from ,y life and start over 
with hopefully 5$ to my name....
things are gonna get wild 
52 year old wild.

covid pits




I was wondering the same thing.....
Life has been more than what anyone needs, requires or has asked for lately.
Summer is here and just as we slide out of Covid we find our country locked down into curfews due to riots and hatred.
So, I guess I'm ok if those "murder hornets" took a left turn at Albuquerque.
What the bejesus is happening?
Happening to the world? Our brothers and sisters of color? Our children? Our planet?
I don't know, and although I do think and overthink it I am going to allow myself a break and not feel super guilty.

(yes, those are my Covid hairy pits....I like them)

let me get back to my old bullshit posts...
today I ran 3 miles, it was hotter than a Las Vegas parking lot but I attempted it anyway.  2 miles in of run walking I, of course, had to poo.  
Because of Covid there are no public bathrooms which caused me great anxiety.
Don't worry, I made it ....
barely


I earned my beer on that run.
I have more shitty run days now than good ones.
maybe it's age?
well,
I really have not much to post 
except I haven't been home a month and it feels like a lifetime,
Lawyer texted that the divorce could be another 6 months because the courts are still not open...
and I have a mammogram on Friday

let's get this summer started

If It Doesn't Make You Wiser.... Quarantine Days

I get lost...
not sure what holds things down
or back
in my head.

This beautifully sad movie was not the ideal thing for me to watch today,
alone...


maybe too close to home....
Maybe made me feel 
too much
and the hole opened again.
so many things I need to sit and think about,
to fix
to not be another disappointment 
Being strong is what is expected...
The mean mom, the tough one,
the bitch ex wife....
(almost)

As I continue to try to run away, to escape and to be strong...
reality keeps seeping in.
I go back to work in a week and I'm not sure I'm ready.
I definitely don't want to continue to sit around but I also am not sure I can keep my shit together.
I really do not want to cry ...
I don't want to talk about it because when I do I feel the need to only say the good stuff, 
because there was a lot of good stuff.
Keep the sad or morbid stuff quiet...
then I realized today,
the bucket I cram all that into is nearing the top, with no overflow.
I can't sleep
it's not all about my job etc...that really just allowed me to but a name ,or an excuse, on my feelings.
Now it's everything
every dark spot I had ,or have no control over, is there and it feels pretty vast.
I'll be fine
but I wonder what others do?
I was sent this article 


I sit here and think maybe taking time off is really not the best idea...
Maybe that is the exact idea as to why they often require us to work continuously

Then I was sent a link to 10-33 foundation for reintegration...
I put it a folder last week...
today I opened it and filled it out.

I should probably write more, because I sure as shit don't want to talk more
I just want to laugh...
I want to be done with this divorce ...
because I cannot understand it and that kills me too
I get angry when I see him still sitting on the couch doing the exact same thing....
when he stuffs all my belongings in the basement and has ripped up and thrown away every family picture....
just seems really hurtful, but yet again...I hurt him
I still pay the bills and mortgage...
I'm not sure I have ever been much of anything except a bill payer ....

I don't want to talk to family because they really don't need to know
and even if they did,
what can they do.
As silly as it sounds I want to just sit and listen to the birds
or do something I can complete and be proud of...
have someone rub my back while I fall asleep 
and make sure I do fall asleep...safely
I would like to sit and listen to music
and not cry...not feel that overwhelming burden.
I don't want to think about how much more I could do for the people in my life...
son, daughter, friends, lovers, family, and the people I promise to care for within my job...
There is nothing I can really do
except wait it out
figure it out
keep smiling...
and hoping I can be the person I am supposed to be.

xo,
write ya later,

here.....if it doesn't make you wiser...



Wiseblood
This'll be my last home

But this stream will carry me through
But this stream isn't home no more
And truth can make immune
If it doesn't make you wiser

Doesn't make you stronger
Doesn't make you live a little bit
What are you doing?
And this'll be my one remorse

But this stream's kept me abused
And this stream is a hungry course
And time can make it new
If it doesn't make you wiser

Doesn't make you stronger
Doesn't make you live a little bit
What are you doing?
If it doesn't make you wiser

Doesn't make you stronger
Doesn't make you live a little bit
What are you doing?
In these parting days, I am losing all my senses

In these timeless days, I can barely see through
In this crowded space, I am losing all my senses
In these drowned out bays, I can barely see through
If it doesn't make you wiser

Doesn't make you stronger
Doesn't make you live a little bit
What are you doing?
If it doesn't make you wiser

Doesn't make you stronger
Doesn't make you live a little bit
What are you doing?
If it doesn't make you wiser

Doesn't make you stronger
Doesn't make you live a little bit
What are you doing?
If it doesn't make you wiser

Doesn't make you stronger
Doesn't make you live a little bit
What are you doing?

Post Apocalyptic Bullshit

wow....
here we are....
as I contemplate should I put on Pjs or this:


I just can't decide.
I'm sure pretty soon we will all be resembling this:


My divorce is taking forever and I am stuck between two places, basically living in my own post apocalyptic hell.
As we maneuver through this Covid Crap I had hoped to be working more...
especially as as essential employee...
but as it worked out, elective surgeries are cancelled so I'm working emergent surgeries and at the hospital when needed.  
As of now,
our hospital is doing OK. so my PRN status is not being used.
With that said...
I was also hoping that these days off would give me some much needed respite and mind clearing, but instead has caused imense stress and anxiety.
I also hoped to be looking sexy in my Mad Max Pandemic Garb and possibly getting laid.
But my old friend Mother Nature has been more than helpful in making sure that would not happen.
Thanks Mother Nature, you cruel bitch.

So as I sit here and think about how much more of my life is being wasted waiting for a final divorce decree ( I think my lawyer has abandoned me)
I will design some outfits to make sure I stay virus free and sexy.

from my confined shelter in place area.....

wash yo hands, yo....

Please don’t tell me


please tell me this isn't my best life.
What a weird time it is, yet life must continue.
it must.
As a nurse I laugh daily....
as I take my temp for the billionth time before work
as they tell me " no masks are available"
as friends say " really?, you are going to go hang out with other friends?"
Yes...
Self distancing does not mean death or self destruction
or self isolation
we still must live.

My ex still sits on the couch every day.
same spot
same clothes

wont talk....
wont leave the house...
my house too 
yet I have been banned 
our divorce court date is pushed out to possibly June
Who has a fucking year long divorce?
me 
and him

at work ...
we closed today (surgery center) so I am moving to the hospital once again with people wishing me well and health.
but as a nurse I smile and go, and know that this is what my oath said...
care for others 
this is what we train for.
I am not alone.

at home my heart is with a man who apparently adores me and I can't quite figure it out
it is stressful and good at the same time.
Is it a joke? what the hell?
Is this what people really have in real life.....?
what I have been missing for all these years?
I am beside myself and baffled 
so, tonight t as I drink a vodka tonic and write I worry about the next few weeks.
I don't worry about my health....
I worry about others and the economy....
and how we will recover as a community,
healthcare workers will be fine
but will 
we 
all 
in the end?

xo
write ya later

back it up



this truck is backed up against a wall...
perfectly fitting into this tiny space


lately, 
I feel this truck
but just like when I saw this truck....
I just laugh


I wouldn't mind going back to the tree house in 
Costa Rica with this piece of work


or donning my adventure shoes again.....
soon


until then 
Life is good 
or as we say,
tolerable
As public as I am I still carry many things private.
This is a big week for me
Possibly the beginning of my new life, in which I am scared to death and ready for all in one.
not really having anyone to ask or to bounce things off of....
 I find myself moving through this labyrinth alone.
No one really asks
and even if they did...
what help could they offer except for the obligatory'
"It all is going to be fine in the end"


One more day ....
