Okay, okay, okay...I get it. It's been three months and I suck.
I've had little to no internet access, and my life has once again exploded, but within the week I will have internet at home and will once again post regularly. For what it's worth.
Things are getting back on course after two months of chaos and living hell.
I finally have my health back after a misdiagnosed and prolonged bout with bronchitis and walking pneumonia AND a case of being drugged/poisoned with symptoms similar to an aneurysm. Scary.
Had to move from my old place, but found a gorgeous 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment three blocks from the Quarter with all the amenities. I have also acquired a new roomate which is going really well.
I lost my job at Urban Organics through "having too squishy a relationship with my boss", whatever that means, but now have a part-time job at a restaurant/local grocery store in the neighborhood where I worked when I first moved to New Orleans. I have several leads on full-time jobs that I am pursuing.
Benjamin left me because he needs to be alone, and although we parted on excellent terms, he refuses to be my friend or reply to my (many) attempts at communication. Self-destructive, anyone? I wish him only the best, though I lament the loss of our deep friendship.
Emotionally and spiritually, I have progressed in leaps and bounds in the two months since Ben left...I was operating on inertia and resting on my laurels, but his abrupt exit was a real wake-up call, and stimulated a great deal of soul-searching. So, it turned out to be a good thing, though wrenching and devastating. I still believe he and I are uniquely suited ot each other, but I no longer base my happiness and self-worth on the presence or absence of anyone or anything else. So, thanks Ben for dumping my ass...
I will be spending a great deal of time in California this next year, but I can still be reached by email or my cell phone.
I hope all of you are well and happy, and I love you all.
More very soon,
GTA
