Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Embracing My Independance
I'm writing much later than usual this morning. In fact,
it's only 5 minutes away from being afternoon. I've had a
busy morning. I dropped Annie off at school, then went on
a few errands. I've been keeping myself busy by doing
things around the house. The stuff that doesn't usually
get done very often. I decided last night that today I was
going to organize the entryway closet, change out the
faded, pathetic-looking summer plants (petunias and
pansies) for more robust and colorful fall plants
(chrysanthemums and asters). And lastly, take the girls to
get their portraits taken (I've been putting it off for
months). All of which I fully intend to finish today.
Watch, when I write tonight, it WILL all be completed! So,
I bought cute, but functional red rubber bins (they look
like beach bags, but rubberized and sturdy), white
stackable containers and labels to tackle the closet. Deep
red, dark purple and spicy orange colored mums and asters
for the patio containers. And Annie a pair of ivory tights
to go with the dress she's wearing for the pictures. I've
got their outfits planned (they have been for almost 2
months). Annie is wearing a formal ivory satin dress, with
a burgundy sash and Kiki is wearing an ivory pantsuit with
a fancy lace jacket. They are going to be so precious!
I've been keeping myself so busy the past 3 days that I
really haven't been concentrating on my weight. I actually
forgot to weigh myself this morning. I've been eating
healthy, exercising at night and feeling great. Full of
energy and vitality(I need it with all these tasks I've
given myself!) I'm happy for the first time in so long.
Even with Snookums gone, I'm still happy. I decided that
being alone doesn't have to be lonely. I'm embracing my
independance and it feels nice. I get to do what I want,
when I want, and how I want. Not that I wasn't free to do
that with Snookums home, it's just that alone you don't
have to consider what someone else wants or needs. It's
just a little taste of total freedom. I feel like a grown-
up, rather than a lost child.
I must be going. My projects await! Ciao.
