Yeah, I just don't update very often. I rarely get comments when I do. Mostly because there's nothing to really to comment about. I do read what few entries get posted by you guys but equally don't always comment. I tend to keep in touch more on Twitter and Facebook.
Anyway, I've been a blissfully happy girl the last couple months. Slowly lowering dosages on my meds and not having any terrible side effects or relapses. Classes are going well. First month is out of the way and midterms are around the corner. Next thing I know, the semester will be over and winter break will begin. Keeping busy does make time fly, which is nice.
Speaking of time flying... It's dragging a bit this morning because I'm really excited. Jed (aka twanky for you KOLers) is currently on a plane, somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, and should be landing in about 7 hours. This means in about 8 hours he will be here!
I'm excited and nervous. Things between us have been a bit of a whirlwind, but in a good way. We never planned on being together. I was just a friendly ear to help him through the split. In the last three months, I've seen him do a complete 180 in his mood and attitude towards things. It's really great. He's moving forward with everything and I love that. By no means do I take any credit, though he gives me some. I think he's just finally getting out of the funk he was in after everything.
We've been together but not together for the last two months. It's felt like years but flown by as though it was just a week. We're not stupid enough to think we can survive a monogamous relationship when we're four thousand miles apart. So, for now, we keep it open. There's a few reasons for it and we both think they're good reasons. I've not bothered to take advantage of the arrangement, but he has. Just once though. It didn't bother me so I know it's a good move.
This whole relationship is a bit refreshing. We don't keep any secrets from each other. We're completely comfortable talking about any and everything. I've shared things with him that I've never shared with anyone before. It's really nice. I can truly be myself with him. This really is better than any relationship I've been in before.
We've joked about the future. There's no pressure, no expectations. We're both hopeful and would not pass at the opportunity for those jokes to become reality. But we're being realistic and this is a very good thing.
So, that's what's been going on with me. Now, to shower, get dressed, return the carpet cleaner, finish tidying up a bit and squee until it's time to leave for the airport.
Anyway, that's about all.
I'm really happy.
