(revised to include recent events)
Its been a long time since I've posted anything, but so much has happened in the last 5 months... As I enjoy making lists, I'll just do this in list form. In no particular order:
1. I've came back home to Cali from Seattle.
2. I ended up living with a highly reputable man who molested and threatened me. He's still harassing me, 3 months later.
3. I was homeless for two whole hours (in direct response to #2)
4. I made a man fall off the wagon after his failed marriage proposal (it had been literally 1 wk of dating!) - it wasn't pretty.
5. I rescued the same man from attempted suicide.
6. I learned how to shoot pool so well that I've now beat the second best player in Marin - twice!
7. My alcohol tolerance has gone from one beer to three. (this is not a good thing)
8. I was underweight for several months and am now rockin some seriously sexy curves.
9. I've moved four times since July.
10. I successfully mediated a near bar brawl (while drunk!) to where the people ended up hugging.
11. A friend OD'd. It affected me greatly.
12. I got a high-paying job in a shit economy.
12b. My boss is such an asshole that he's made me cry multiple times out of sheer frustration.
12c. My hours from said job get cut to nothing.
12d. I am so happy and relieved about it, we celebrate.
12e. I finally get laid off - thank god!
13. I've learned what "blackout drunk" means. Those friends are no longer friends.
14. I'm getting to know my family again after 9 years.
15. A year after hospitalization, I am still pretty healthy.
And saving the very best for last:
16. I met the man of my dreams. Seriously. True love.
16b. Clint and I sealed the deal with a promise, a ring and a kiss on March 1st.
17. We're now 8 weeks pregnant with our first child - due 12/14! - equally nervous and excited.
