What a Week!
Another recap:
* Had an amazing X-mas with Kandice and her mom. I got to meet aunt Lenora, attended a Catholic Mass for the first time ever and cried several times with holiday joy. Nearly everything about this particular holiday was last-minute, but nearly everything about it was entirely satisfying. My soul feels loved and happy - what more could anyone want?
* I made gingerbread cookies and the three of us (Kandice, her mom and myself) cut them into shapes and decorated them together. Delicious! Since Kandice came into it, I am fully participating in my life as much as I can - particularly where the holidays are concerned.
* I visited my mother and had a good time. She must think me an alcoholic as I imbibed from the first few minutes in her home up until the last few. We went out to dinner and I drank there, too. She took Kandice and I shopping and bought her future daughter-in-law some clothing as holiday cheer. My relationship with my mother is repaired and nearly normal. Soon, I expect that we'll find ourselves close.
* Speaking of drinking, it feels like I've been intoxicated every other day since arriving in Florida. I know this isn't quite true, but gosh, my tummy tells me so. I've been riding the wine->sake continuum, so no worries there. We've been spending a lot of time with Jessie and never did get to play board games the other night. Still, Kandice's long-time best friend is good-hearted and silly - a winning combination - and a good friend!
* Speaking of visits, I haven't been able to get ahold of my dad because of the phone situation and I spoke to Dave (McClanahan, my third-longest tenured friend) for the first time last night. I probably won't be able to visit either one, but I'm not back in NYC yet.
* Kandice and I bumped into my ex. She behaved in a petty manner, as I expected. My life is amazing now and I can only wish her the same.
* I miss the city and my friends there (Drew, Yuka and Ted; I'm thinking of you... Rich, Dan and Heather; I don't know you well enough yet)! I never thought I'd live somewhere that I enjoy. My circumstances haven't yet allowed me to get much leisure time in my "new" home town, but, so far, I really like it. Hopefully, 2009 is a brighter year (as circumstances go) than the last two have been. I met my soulmate in 2008, so, regardless of how miserably bleak it may have otherwise been, 2008 will go down in my memory as the best year I've ever had.
* I've ended up staying in Tampa a few more days than expected and I'm glad; rest has been harder to come by than usual. I love spending time with my family!
