Jen and I drove to Sarasota yesterday to pick up David — He was Ryan and Melissa Tober’s best man. Then we drove to Daytona to see Mom & Dick and then back to Gainesville (Practicing for June!). I worry about David. He got really drunk the night of the wedding and was very sick. […]
Ok, so here I am at an Episcopal Retreat House in Oviedo, just down the road from UCF. It’s an Americorps PD quarterly meeting. Met some nice people. Mary, the state coordinator is still clueless about my skills, but others are figuring it out. I guess I don’t really need for them to know how […]
Jen moved in about a week ago — she is being incredibly wonderful, and I treasure every moment. She’s going to Alabama on the 23rd, then to Chicago and the App. Trail with [redacted]. Then, in July, she’s going to Chicago for six months. David will be in Florida in about 5 days and Jen […]
Jen is definitely moving in, but only for May and June. Then she plans to go to Chicago for six months and come back to work in January. Six months at a time in Gainesville with no one to love me. And no money. All those days off in the summer, and no one to […]
Sunday night (Easter), Mom fell on my doorstep and broke her left ankle. We spent hours in the emergency room before they finally admitted her. I spent most of Monday trying to find a place where she could get appropriate care. Finally, Tuesday night, Jen and I drove her to Port Orange, to Horizons where […]
Jen’s pretty definitely moving in sometime in May. She says we’re in a good place so we can get along. But she also says she’s probably going to move to Chicago before the end of the year. And tomorrow’s Easter. A year since we’ve seen David for more than 24 hours. What the hell am […]
Jen is back from Chicago. She got in Tuesday night, and today she’s coming over for Mom Night. At the end of May, she’s going on the Appalachian Trail for a week again. David is definitely not coming for Easter. I hope he’ll be in Florida for a few days when Ryan gets married, and […]
Susan and I spoke at length about my fears about health. I think I told her more about what it does to me than I’ve ever told anyone. She said it comes from me not having anyone understand me or comfort me when I was a child. I told her I felt as if there […]
I’ve finished two full weeks of work. It’s okay, but I’m still working with a team. Donna is great. She seems to be an incredibly nice woman. She’s already looking for ways to get me a Masters degree. I think my money problems are going to be with me for a while. I either need […]
Jen came Wednesday after work to give Fingerpup a bath, but she wasn’t feeling well, so it didn’t get done that day. Her house was cold — she brought a suitcase and planned to stay until Friday morning. But, by Friday, she was still pretty sick. She didn’t even go to work today. She slept […]
