Dear Bob,

Losing sleep the past couple of nights. Worried about stuff. Don't want to go into it all right now. It may be nothing. It's probably nothing. Unless it's something. Which terrifies me. So very much.

*hugs* I hope it's nothing but if it's something and there's anything I/we can do, just say the word.

Dear Bob,

Things with my new friend are still going well. My insecurities are always creeping up but they don't seem to be getting in the way, so that's good. She's my age, in the same situation as me (no job or kids) and seems to like me. Here's hoping.

I was going to write a long, existential post brought on by something Shannon said yesterday--but I'm dead tired from driving an driving and walking and driving and walking and driving and driving.

Bob,

I had this strange moment while approaching WalMart this morning. It was as though there were this giant bubble around it and once I entered that bubble, my Chicago life stopped and my real life started again, and it wasn't until I made it away from the WalMart that I felt like I had safely made it back to my Chicago life.

It was kind of funny but mostly bizarre.

David and I accidentally booked an appointment to view a house. And he's accidentally going to the bank today to talk about a mortgage. And we accidentally have an offer ready to go.

I've never accidentally bought a house before, Bob. This should be interesting.

Dear Bob,

My brother, Robert, looked pretty cute holding his nephew yesterday. And every time he did, I brightly told Atticus, "Bob's your uncle!" Hee. That's never getting old. To me. Do you have nieces or nephews, pweb Bob? If so, you should tell them "Bob's your uncle." It's good for a chuckle.

In other news, I am a big dork.

Dear Bob,

Just talked to Atty's doctor who did her best to be reassuring. I am mostly reassured? I guess? Only not really. But I think I'm getting used to this whole thing where the future is a million times more precious and normal uncertainty feels a million times more frightening.

Dear Bob,

My friend Katie and her husband are moving to California. They are driving cross-country to get there. Last night they stopped in Aurora, Colorado to see a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises. Katie instagrammed a photo of her ticket. They were in the theatre where the shooting took place.

Word is she got in touch with her parents, and she and her husband are both miraculously unharmed (physically, at least).

I am numb.

That is horrible. Mass shootings like this rob me of adequate words. I am, at least, glad that more people weren't killed in such an enclosed and confused environment. :cry:

That theatre is the closest one to my sister's apartment. I'm glad she and my brother-in-law didn't go last night.

I'm sorry your friend was there. I wish her peace and healing as she deals with this tragedy.

She recently posted to FB, letting everyone know they're ok, so I'm glad to have that confirmed.

I just can't get over the randomness of it all. I mean, of all the movie theatres to stop in on their drive across the country, they wound up in that one.

I'm glad your sister and her husband didn't attend the movie, steph. How terrible to have such a tragedy happen so close to home.

Dear Bob,

I'm pretty much constantly angry at Tara these days for a variety of reasons - mainly litter-box related - but I'm feeling rather sorry for her, today. She reacts to high-pitched sounds much as I react to chewing sounds. And Atticus is delighting in playing with his upper register this morning. So she's following me around, begging me to do something about the petiole-kitten, please, for the love of all that's holy. Poor cat. They really both have been so good about his arrival, and I know how she feels. So, I'm being a bit nicer than usual to her today. (And, of course, keeping Atty out of her way so she doesn't lose her temper with him. She likes him, but those noises put her so much on edge.)

Bob,

Today I feel:
fat (as I should, I weigh the most I've weighed since getting here...which is the same I weighed in AZ but it always feels worse when it comes back than when you had it the first time around)

tired

kind of sad

unmotivated

stressed/behind on things I want/need to do



Hmm. Maybe I should try remembering to take my anti-depressants. ;)

I didn't stop on purpose. I just got accustomed to taking them with birth control and when the one stopped for two weeks and counting, so did the other.

Meh.

Bob,

Due to some...crap, I'll say, I can't afford tickets to Les Mis anymore. In the matter of a few minutes, I went from having a decent cushion of spending money to not being able to pay myself back the money I'm borrowing from my savings until next April. f****** suuuucks.

Today, my new roommates told me that they've noticed throughout orientation that I just draw people to me, that people love to talk with me because I'm so friendly.

I used to be so shy and insecure. I don't think there is anything they could have said that would have made me feel happier or more proud. Hopefully this means good things for the coming school year!
