My Solitude

I almost forgot to write. It saddens me that my diary
isn't the priority it used to be, but on the other hand it
makes me happy that I'm not as tormented as I used to be.
My diary was a sanctuary for the longest time. I can't say
every day is great, but I've grown so much and learned to
deal so well these past few years. I'm a big girl now :) A
big, level-headed, no-longer-insane, girl. I'm also a
tired girl who isn't making much sense at the moment!

I can't drag myself through a play-by-play right now, so
I'll just stick to the highlights. Today was the same as
usual. Which isn't a bad thing. I love my routine, but it
isn't very interesting. It is what it is.

When I got home from the gym there was a package sitting
on the front porch. Sue sent gifts! She doesn't normally
do that (and I don't expect her to. We make double what
she makes in a year. We should be sending her gifts).
Sometimes I wonder why she gives us the things she gives.
I'm always gracious, but her taste is nothing like mine
and she tends to buy poor quality. Today I was pleasantly
surprised. She'd bought all of the kids a new outfit. The
girls got adorable watermelon-themed dresses from Gymboree
and Keenan got a little matching green polo and jean
shorts. I love the outfits so much I'm putting them away
for Snookums homecoming. Between the two grandmothers
(Sue's clothes for the kids and Helena's check to me) our
welcome home outfits are in the bag! Only 18 days to go.
We're getting closer!

T'onna came over tonight to hang out. This really helped
the night go by faster. We were laughing and joking. It's
nice having friends. I'm just learning this lesson. I
still value my solitude, but I like being with people more
than I ever did in the past. Finally, I'm coming out of my
hard shell and reaching out! Ciao.
