Dreaming on
So, yeah… I promised not to stay gone for long… HERE I AM!!
I feel like so much is going on… I’ve definitely been busy. I saw the Boots Lady in the kitchen this morning before I went to the Lake. She waltzes in and was like, “Who are you??” And then laughed at the joke! My schedule has been so crazy, I hardly have time to do more than eat and sleep. I’m not complaining; I really do enjoy my daily outings and just having a chance to mingle with people not in my family. (Not that I don’t love mi familia, but it’s nice to know people outside the circle of trust!) The lake season is ending at the end of the month and I hope that I don’t go crazy before April, when the new season begins and I get the chance to harass people again! Yes, you read correctly; next season. As far as my supervisor is concerned, I’m going to be on staff for next year. You have know idea how much that boosts my confidence. I’ve not really had much of a chance since my discharge from the military to show that I do work hard and, while I have a few interesting days with my back, I can be part of the team and hold my own. It makes me want to work even harder knowing that the boss and the big boss want me to come back next year. I feel valued and that I actually matter. Plus, I get to see just how dark my tan can get… I forgot to take pictures of how golden I got just in a month. I’m starting to fade since the sun is now in fall mode…
Had a not so fun day with the back today. I started having spasms around 1230-ish. Then, after I left the lake, I went to the library. As I was getting out of the car, I have one hell of a spasm hit me mid back. And I had another big spasm hit not more than 15 seconds after that one. Absolutely pissed me off!! Took me by surprise at the intensity and back-to-back combo. I had to walk rather slow to make sure I didn’t trigger anything else. Completely drained me of any energy I had at that moment. I keep having all these intense spasms and moments where I just have to stop what I’m doing because of intense bouts of pain. It can be scary some days. And I won’t even go into how some days I feel like I’m dragging my right foot… (I think I’m lifting my leg and foot, but then I feel a drag along the ground.) Yet, there isn’t a thing wrong with me and I’m imagining everything, all because I don’t have a strong core.
And now on to happier thoughts and events: London! Wow. I just don’t know how to explain it. You ever just click with someone immediately and you just know that they will be in your life for more than a day or two? And the funny thing is, we haven’t yet met in person! We’re Skyping and talking to one another over the phone whenever we can. During the day we IM like crazy. He’s been having a really stressful week this week and it’s killing me not being close enough to do anything to help it not be so stressful. I feel kind of guilty too; he stays up late just to be able to talk to me for a little bit. Makes me feel like I’m somebody important when he does. Especially with his crazy busy job! Every day that I get a chance to talk with him, or read an e-mail from him, or a text/IM, it’s like all’s right in the world. Some days it feels like I’ve known him all my life and like we’re just catching up when coming back from a trip. There’s a million other things, too, but I’m just going to enjoy and keep them to myself… A girl’s gotta keep some of her daydreams and thoughts to herself; it’s no fun sharing everything! (And if I’m dreaming all this up, leave me be… I’m really having such a wonderful time and would rather stay in the fantasy than come back to reality!)
Well, guess I best be skid-daddling… I keep nodding off and having some difficulties remembering where this train is going at the moment…
Have an awesome Friday and I’ll catch y’all in a couple of days!! Until then… CIAO!!
