But I'm Feeling Much Better, Now

Today is better than yesterday. Today, Isobel woke at 6am and went back to sleep for three hours with little cajoling needed. Today, I went to bed at 4am and woke up every 45 minutes or so cuz of the messed up dreams. Today I was a little manic this morning and a little without patience this early afternoon – but moods are cycling every few hours, instead of nearly 15 minute intervals like some points of yesterday.

Today I found out that it’s JDawg’s first day of attempted total sobriety – he texted me to get me to call him so that I could be the first one he told. Today, I seem to be back to best friend and closest confidant status. Today, I’m not the enemy.

Today is going to be ok.

Today, I’m worshipping this song:

And mourning what could have been, maybe, sort of. I’m questioning why the word love is coming back into my head, when I’ve force myself to feel nothing towards him for the past year and a half other than rage, fear, concern, lust and amusement. Why those stupid four letters that complicate everything and make messy what is already condemnable?

It saddens me that I’m only capable of loving him when he’s being the person who he could be.

    Wha?? Knew it.

  • Glad you are feeling better now! I'm not one to give good advice on the "L" word, so I won't even try. :D Later!

  • I am glad you feel better today than yesterday. It sounded pretty awful.

  • I'm glad you're feeling better. Sounds like you have a lot to deal with right now. Only you knows what's best for you and Isobel. It will get better.

  • Okay, I'm officially hooked on you. Wanna rock my blogroll?

    I don't know anything about your situation w/ jdawg, but I'm sending you a cyber hug and a promise to read your archives and catch up, so i can offer you my support.

    Feel better!

  • I'm glad to hear that today has been better for you. I've been thinking of you and hoping you were doing ok.

    In my opinion, it's all too easy to start thinking the "L word" when someone who has treated us badly in the past shows signs of the person they are underneath their problems.

    Not that you asked, but my advice (should you choose to even read it! LOL!) would be to try to hold your ground. I would think separating yourself from the person who can hurt you is the most difficult part. The next hardest thing is probably *staying* away. (I had a somewhat similar experience this past summer, and I still question the choices I made.)

    Hang in there, you're going to be ok!!
