Today

Been forever and a day since I last posted. I've been riding the current of my life for the last month and a half and have found moments to come up for air here and there. The ex and I are in therapy and it is helping me get some closure. There have been painfull moments but I am learning and growing. Confused? We are not in therapy to get back together. It is more a process of figuring out what went wrong so that we can learn how to avoid certain pitfalls in our future relationships.
I'm looking forward to Christmas. What meager decorations I own adorn the house and have added a certain warmth. I've enjoyed the few snowfalls we have had so far this winter and the forecast promises more soon. It is good to be alive. My friend, Joel, is coming home to spend the holiday with me and the fam. I lived with Joel and his Dad when I first moved here. They graciously took me in until I was able to find an apartment. Joel and I are going to cook dinner one of the nights during his visit and we have plans to take the train into the city. We both have rather expensive tastes which we will have to reign in on our visit to the big apple. Think we may go to Cartier for fun and pretend that we are getting engaged so that I can try on some rings worth more than the home my parents live in.
Also going to see the man in black this holiday season who promises me that we can go skating together. I can hardly wait.
Moved my room around a bit as well and I am sleeping better with my bed in its new position. I also bought a space heater which helps to make my room quite cozy.
My NMS I professor would have been proud today. I took my first NMS II practical and I held my own and was even complimented for giving clear instructions to my "patient". I really felt like a doctor in that moment.
Went to B & N to study tonight. Took a study break and read a bit of It's called a breakup because it's broken" by Greg Behrendt and Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt. Good stuff. Really funny - I almost snorted in public - yes, I'm admitting this to you all because it was just that hilarious. For the single ladies I recommend his book he's just not that into you.
Well that's all for now. No major revelations. There is a super sale on at Pier One right now on candles and glass ware if you want to check it out. Other than that - be well.
