There is a lot that has happened in the last two weeks, half of which relate back to Houdini's appointment from six weeks ago and half of which don't. I really want to take some time and write it all down, so I can look back a later time, when we're probably going to be going through the same type of emotional roller-coaster, and remind myself that (a) we did get past it, somehow (b)there are worse things in life happening to people I know and care for, so no, this is not the end all, be all of bad things that can happen (c) I am strong enough to deal with it (d) I am also not as strong as I think I am, and there are things about myself I need to get help for (e) basically, life goes on.
However, this entry is more of a public announcement/apology. To celebrate making it through the last six weeks, Lemel got together a bunch of really nice surprises for me, which shows that he not only does he still know the absurd, stupid things that make me happy, he also still cares very much, despite my acting like an asshole at times because I so badly wanted to release the stress, somehow. There. I said it. I'm sorry I was an asshole.
It's really what it's always been all along: he's no prince and I'm no prize, but together, we still make better sense than apart. And that's all that matters.
