24 May 2002 22:55So I know I've been a bit slack in keeping things up-to-date. At least I feel more like myself today than I have in at least a week... I woke up on Thursday and finally felt more like a Xiane-being, and it seems to have stuck for now. I guess finding out that you temporarily really don't have any control over a large part of the events that shape your life helps to let you say "fuck it".
Good news: I GET TO MOVE FINALLY! We're going to have much more room - We aren't leaving the house, ut we are taking over the whole back of it... the guy who rented the apartment space in the back just moved out [into a house he built for himself, lucky guy], and so we're moving in this week. Perks - our own bathroom [the ugliest red colour I might have ever seen!], more room, a private entrance and yard. Minuses - no stove or fridge. BAD colour in kitchen, and shitty cabinets. Weird wall space. But in total - it is a million times better than this single room that has all of Bvrn's and my crap stuffed in it. I'll still be using the main kitchen and the washer/dryer area, for now, but that's okay. It is a freedom to have so much space at our disposal... whee.
I got home from work today and decided to dive into the garden work that needed to get done. Most of you haven't seen my house, I think, but we're known for the wild jungle-like overgrowth that would make the Amazon proud. Kudzu seems to be our special friend that wants to show us how much it loves us by covering everything we own in itself. We have roses that want to conquer the entire neighborhood. They are the thorniest things I've ever handled. And we have the largest azaleas in the known universe. You think I'm exaggerating... nope. They're gigantic.
Well, we still have huge shrubbery, but we also have a giant pile of cuttings that fill the entire corner of teh yard. And I'm not even near being finished. I loved doing it - terribly theraputic and satisfying.
I just told someone that I'm radiating positivity tonight, and it is SO true. I don't care about The Soup and my impending loss of job, I don't care about surly bitches and backstabbers or anything ick at all. I just want to be around people who make me smile and I want to be creative. That's all. I like it. Yep. I'm in an unusual state of calm and I'm intending to stay there for at least a little while. Don't fuck with me.
Okay, I'm shutting up for now, but be assured... I'm really happy right now. It is CRAZY. Mark it in your calendar!
