Celebrating relationships and anniversaries
Two months and busy times!
So, today marks 2 whole months for V and I. To many, this means nothing. And usually, I don’t really get into trying to make something like "2 months" a big deal. But, this time around it seems rather "special."
In the past, we have always kept the date of "April 25th" as out anniversary date. Even after all the (5) times we have broken up. It was V that suggested that maybe we should keep a new date. The date of the first Saturday that he came here to the house. That was June 28th.
At first I kinda didn’t like the idea. I am a stickler for dates and numbers and such. But then I started to warm up to it. Not only is in in the summer - but it’s also a time for new beginnings.
So, we decided to take that route because we are trying really hard to keep everything we do different. This way we will not fall back into the same old rut. The same old routine that we so often get into. And, changing the date is something new & different and not our norm.
So far I think it has been working pretty well. We are trying to talk things out as we need to instead of letting it build. We are both rediscovering different aspects of each other that we like and don’t like. And it seems that we have been making an effort to actually listen to each other.
Listening to each other - this was not something that we did too well in the past because we were always trying to get our points across - and it always ended up being a no win situation. We ended up just closing off and ignoring each other. This is never good for any relationship.
It’s amazing how two super headstrong people can try to out do each other when it comes to getting points across! And it’s also amazing how two people can put back together a relationship that had been plowed into the ground.
As each day passes I am feeling more & more secure with our relationship and I feel as though things really will be alright for us. As long as we remember the struggles in the past and what we want for the future - I think we have finally started to grasp what we both want and what each of us can do to make it work.
It’s exciting to look towards the future and see us as a couple in it. : )
Work Stuff…
Plain & simple - work is kicking my ass this week. And last week too! Since I have come back from vacation, I have been running non stop. I even had to attend a meeting last week with my boss. WTF is up with that?
Actually, I guess I can understand it a bit. He is the Manager and I am the managers "assistant" when you really think about it.
I have had to be somewhat "stern" with the therapists this week though - and honestly I hate it. They run their butts off and the last thing they want is me bringing them more paperwork to do.
Unfortunately, I have to though because in order for my department to "close out" the charts, I need to make sure ALL the documentation is in. After it is in and I verify it is - I need to then give the paperwork to my boss and he signs it off and then - we actually have to hold onto those little documents for nine freakin years!
At the meeting… documentation was stressed to the max!
So, if it is not done - they are gonna be looking to me. That’s not gonna fly with me because I hate having attention directed towards me!
Fall already…
Seriously, there is no need for summer to be gone already. Can I take this and complain somewhere? I have had a super itchy throat, been waking up in the early morning ( my best sleeping time) and have had sinus pain and pressure and headaches because I try to hold off as long as I can with allergy meds.
Claritin, Zyrtec and all those don’t really seem to work all that well Benadryl is the only one that really works the best for me - but I take it and I want to slip into a coma with it!
I found some allergy meds that are the generic form of Tavist. Let’s hope it works, cause I could not find a non drowsy Benadryl.
School Starting…
Where has the summer gone again? Somebody…fill me in please! My daughter starts her last year of High School next Tuesday. WoW. Where the hell has the time gone? It seems like yesterday she was just starting the first grade. And now - she is just about all grown up.
I am gonna have empty nest syndrome so bad when she moves out on her own next year! I don’t even want to think about it!

Congrats! I know from experience that sometimes it can be tough, but you seem to be communicating very well. That’s the toughest part.

Nathalie, thanks! So far, so good.
Let me know how the allergy medicine goes (among all the other things in this post!) because I am suffering and generic Zyrtec is not helping at all. I don’t know what to do either because anything with that darn D attached to it keeps me up all night and I can’t sleep (I normally stick with 12 hour doses).
Congrats on the anniversary - 2 months is really good especially with the history here. 6/28 sounds like a lovely new date to celebrate.

Catherine, It seems to be working pretty well. Will note you @ your blog.
