hey kids.

thank you for being so concerned about my well-being. you guys are great. indeed i am doing okay. today i am better than okay. school starts in roughly an hour and a half, i'm back to work after a month and a half long hiatus, we've moved in and settled into our fabulous apartment, and...

things with ara are better. i think we were both getting to the point where we were sort of blaming each other for all the problems that have come. he came over the other night, and as he was leaving we both apologized to each other for being stupid. and i said, why don't we just take care of each other again. and he said, yes, why don't we do that. so i brought him coffee at work the next morning since he had been up late the night before, and then last night he surprised me by coming to visit me after work when i thought we wouldn't see each other until at least thursday. and it was better than it has been in a month and a half.

yay for taking care of each other!

yay for our own fantastic apartment! (that needs a new bathtub)

yay for me being wrong about poo hitting the fan!

more later.
