I'M HOME!
I'M HOME! I'M HOME! I'M HOME!
Yes, it's true. I didn't think it would ever happen but it did. I'm sitting here in front of MY computer with the dsl, no more complaints of dial-up at my parent's house. The journey here yesterday was long and hellish, because of snow and Friday traffic it took 2 hours and 20 minutes to get here when it should have taken about an hour. I had to pee sooooo bad and my cats were making horrible yowling sounds the whole way. There was a ton of shit to move in but I had lots of help. Thank goodness for A. and his big old truck 'cause now I have a swank new matress that is extra comfy and big. It was the bed I was sleeping on at my parent's and they gave it to me. A. is painting at my parent's house this week so he helped me move everything back, including the new bed. Thank the GOODNESS for him!
It's weird being back here. I almost feel like I'm on vacation in a foreign country and everything's not as nice as what I've been used to. I've been living in a huge house where everything is always in it's place, nothing is crowded, there are no neighbors to hear, no clanging radiators, lots of good food around at all times, etc. Now it's back to the one bedroom apartment that is, right now, a total freaking mess. Cleaning people came yesterday morning (C. was here to let them in/be here while they worked) so it's been dusted and cleaned but I have so much stuff laying about. My goal before school starts it to go through everything and get rid of lots of stuff.
Four months. This whole thing is finally coming to a real end. I lived at my parent's house for four months. My life has been ruled by doctors for four months. And now I don't have to see one for another 2 months! 2 months free of doctors is amazing to me.
The Good News: I think my who-ha is on her way back to some normalcy. Now that I've been done with radiation for 2 weeks a lot of the dryness and pain are gone. Not to overshare...but I was able to get wet on my own a few nights this week! Nobody else can understand this, but it's really the biggest thing that could have happened in that area. I've been so worried it would never happen again. Now I just need to take the old girl for a test-run...must check into arranging that soon.
