Made nyt hamburger helper, watching Marley & me and judging. Been a curmudgeon all day. Bay leaf spell.

Ok original anni plans thrown off a little by a contagious bacterium. We cool. I finally was able to meet with the case manager and my narrative proposal for funding to my massage therapy program will be submitted on Monday. Then it’s in the feds’ hands. I am officially attending school in my town so I can start planning my bike route and getting comfortable. I will hopefully get all my paperwork fully submitting and approved for snap if the people at my old job ever get back to me. We are home bound at the moment until Chloe is no longer contagious and to see if I develop any symptoms but let’s hope I never do! So we will clean and I’m going to get my little desk area fully beautified for maximum studying. Then next week when we’re healthy, my tattoo is healed, and we are in our last hurrah moments before school starts we can go to the pool or on a little swimcation and live laugh love etc

Tomorrow for our 8 year anniversary I’m making congee in the morning bc Chloe’s tonsils are inflamed, we are gonna get pedicures in a matching chartreuse, and go see a movie with this gift card her mom gave us and sushi dinner with money her dad sent her. Woohooo

Picked up a 10 buck rear saddle bag for my bike that the lady said she got in the Netherlands and we’re gonna bike to the tennis courts tonight to meet Hank. Today I’m sweaty and cranky and have to talk to a friend on the phone and my case management appointment was canceled

Crying at Yuki’s episode of Pen15, then passing the WorkKeys assessments at the employment office, then coming home to a day of snacking, organizing, and purging our material possessions while Chloe is at work

Tomorrow I’m getting a junior whopper for lunch 😏

[hallogallo]

Ok tomorrow is my last day of work. Then I’m getting a tattoo and meeting people for drinks. Saturday we’re going camping for Hank’s birthday. Monday/Tuesday is taking care of business at the workforce solutions office, and hopefully getting some funding for school. I get to go to school in Albuquerque instead of having to commute to Santa Fe 50 hours a week, booyah. Gonna try and get confident on my bike. Had a great session with my therapist talking about responsibility and autonomy and parenting. Things are working out really beautifully. I’m very excited to start school and spend my time learning.

Ok it’s my last week of work before I start my massage program wowie

Feeling inspired by the summer

[hallogallo]

Us at the theater with a Tupperware full of ice and 2 diet cokes + part of a cherry coke and our own popcorn, crunchy cookies, and cut up cucumber. Obsession was fine

Oh. I’ve been finding it so difficult to contact the 15 year old version of me but have been trying. It’s easy for me to open my eyes as my 10 year old self and look around but I very much avoid teen me. I think I found her shameful and embarrassing and shallow. But I’ve made contact and I respect her so much. Very aware of and tortured by her own naivetee and idealism. Wanting to be free free free. I’m naked in my bed with my lover and we are going to make pizza and I never have to feel that trapped and powerless ever ever ever again. I had nothing to be afraid of and I feel so close to her and I love her so much and I grieve with her
