Dad cried today
My parents are so stressed about my grandmother's health. Well, not her health exactly, but the fact that she is still alive and almost 97. We all know she will die eventually. Sooner rather than later. In the meantime, we have been struggling to take care of her since we can't (vowed never to) put her in a home. She is trying to get back on ( Read more... ) -
Gram's On Her Feet Again!
Today was gram's doctor appointment. It went well. She is healed enough that she doesn't have to wear the boot anymore, and is allowed to walk again (with the walker). I asked the doc how long until the bone is "fully" healed, and he said about four weeks ( Read more... ) -
Relationships...
This week JR and I had a discussion about the pictures he still has of his ex-fiancee. I don't care that he has them, but I asked him to put them all in one singular place which is not readily accessible to myself in any accidental way. After finding a keychain with their picture in a kitchen drawer while cooking a while back, I thought it would ( Read more... ) -
Dad's New Niche?
I guess it's time to talk about Dad. Being a psychologist, he talks to people for a living. But for most of my life, it seems that he has not been very good at communicating and/or understanding me. Lately, that has changed - probably for a variety of reasons. In any event, he was recently telling me about his research into Life Coaching and ( Read more... ) -
Another Month in PA
So here I am still at my parents. I miss JR. JR believes that this time apart is good for us - for him, he has had time to miss me and re-evaluate his intentions towards me. I do agree that the time is good for us. We need to miss each other. And it's working. As of last night, JR indicated that he has made a decision - that he can now be ( Read more... ) -
Exhausting Month of April
This month started poorly. JR decided to get overly-intoxicated one night and me, being the decent person that I am (and then some) fought with him for two hours because it was clear he was not sober to drive. The night ended poorly (details not withstanding)... He did apologize soon after, but I have been hesitant to go for an all-out ( Read more... ) -
Fighting and Frazzled
So this weekend was not a good one. For various reasons, I was extremely depressed, sad, and irritable. I tried to let the BF know, but it can be hard to verbalize these things. I was feeling lonely, but didn't want to ask for attention because I didn't want to seem needy. Instead, he thought I was angry with him and when I did get upset ( Read more... ) -
Worthiness
JR is still being so sweet to me. He took me to a wonderful dinner for the three week anniversary of the day we met. I was in such a bad mood (unrelated) and he tried so hard to make me smile. And I tried hard to relax. We eventually talked about prior relationships and agreed to be honest about ourselves and our prior relationships. We still ( Read more... ) -
A new start
As of last night, I officially have a boyfriend. JR asked me to be his girlfriend, this time in person. And since I had been wanting to to talk to him about it anyhow, I just had to say yes. He's so sweet. Still taking it slow though. And, still waiting to hear back from troupatour since apparently his brother went to school with JR. Can't wait to hear ( Read more... )
