shitty diamonds

It's been a rough ride lately. Challenging, frustrating, stressful but at the same time rewarding, affirming and, at moments, uplifting.

The shitty stuff:
  • Wreaking my car (again!!)
  • My guy's health problems. He's anxious, scared, nervous and generally not feeling well, which doesn't pair well with:
  • A huge workload with my boss gone and lots of stress at work, resulting in less time to workout or see friends and more time drinking which I'm sure is not healthy and is consequently not making me look healthy. 
  • Constant calls from jail. 
  • A whole bunch of cavities and I'm TERRIFIED of the dentist 
The good stuff:
  • Discovering how well I can do when I'm challenged at work
  • A very supportive boss buying me a bottle of St. Germaine and a pass to Sled Island to show me his gratitude for a job well done while he's gone and giving me some time off to decompress. 
  • Really honest talks with my guy about life things that are always learning experiences
  • Reconnecting with old friends, having some great meals, great talks, great games of golf.
  • Really supportive friends who I've been able to lean on and vent to and are very understanding about my absenteeism with our friendship and have even taken me for dinner, drove me around, lent me their cars, bought me tickets, bought me candy; willing to do anything to make my life a little easier. I'm beyond grateful.
