Twice in 12 hours
In order to meet my own personal goal of blogging Monday to Friday, I’m in bed with the laptop before I get up for moving day. I can’t guarantee that the internet will work right away at the new house, it’s may take a day or two, we’ll see. Hopefully I’ll be back up and running in time for Monday’s post, which will be the tour of my new house, all unpacked and settled in!
For today though I thought I’d give an update on the lawyer. I need to stop referring to him like that really… although he is currently even more powerful with a temporary role filling in for the big boss. Anyway, things are good. Things picked up where they left off once he arrived home again, although it was about a month before I actually got to see him. Now it’s been about another 3 weeks. And actually, it’s not bothering me at all! I have been super busy with school work and then once everything was done I was out of town for the weekend, and now he is out of town for a whole week.
I spoke to him while I was away and he suggested I come over Sunday night, but I said I got in really late and he said he’d call me during the week from out of town. Then when I got home, the minute I walked in the door I just didn’t want to be here. I called him up but we were both yawning away and he didn’t take the bait. We chatted for a while then hung up. Even though I rang him in between, he still called me on Tuesday, like he said he would! This is such huge progress from the times when he would never call. So hopefully we see each other soon. I’m kind of looking forward to being able to have people over at my house without flatmates (I’ve never invited him over here!) but at the same time I’m precious about my space, I’ve had bf’s completely invade and take over my life, so I’m very cautious about letting people into my own personal spaces.
A friend of mine said ‘I think you’re going to make it with him’. Which she says wishfully about everyone I meet anyway (I also avoid introducing guys to her because the first two questions she asked are ‘when are you get married?’ and ‘when are you having babies?’ lol). My response this time was it’s inevitable that we will go our separate ways. We’re both depressed over-eaters, he drinks too much (which worries me of course, but seeing as I’m not his gf, I just let it go, he knows it’s bad and it’s up to him to change things, I’m not in a position to nag him about it), and he doesn’t want children. Can’t have children as a matter of fact, and this is non-negotiable for me (assuming I can have children one day!), the number is negotiable, but there will be at least one. For now though, I’m enjoying having a ‘relationship’ without having the pressure, and he treats me really well (draws baths, cooks, always has a nice sav in the fridge!) despite the rocky start (more than 18 mths ago now).
See you all next week! Thanks for all the comments and good wishes re moving and the job, I’m still not sure if/how people like responses, but I will make notes on the blog at least, if not reply by email.
I need to get some sort of schedule put together like Shai did for blogging. I think it would provide me with some much needed motivation to say the least.
I tried to write down ideas for posts as I thought of them, so if I had a day where I came up with 4 topics I’d have some spares for blank days. I’ve ended up just making it up as I go, meaning some of my posts are bit lacklustre :/

I’ve actually put in a few ’scheduled’ posts to cover me on nights when I work. I know that is cheating a bit but sometimes I don’t get home until midnight and the last thing I want to do is write a blog entry!
(in reply to your comments on my blog)
I tried contacts earlier this year but they just didn’t work for me. I too wanted them so I could wear them under any old sunnies but it wasn’t to be. I also wanted them so I could change my eye colour from time to time.
The big thing I’ve learnt this year is that I need to be medicated in some way, if only for my kids sake. I have become far less erratic and more stable on meds but it’s just the side effects are too hard for me to cope with. Once we get the dosage right I’m sure life will be much more pleasant.
For sure, it’s all trial and error with the med thing unfortunately! I was very resistant to it, but after 3 years of endless fatigue, where I would spend entire days just fighting to stay awake and not having energy for anything more, I was on the edge of a complete meltdown, so I’m glad the meds gave me some relief until I was able to see a surgeon and diagnose the problem (endometriosis).
