He feels so awful awful when he sees me on my knees.

Closure is good. Moving on is good. New experiences are good. But this is a little too much.

Last day of internship - 5 June
Last day of marriage - 11 June
Last day of Big Gay Job - 14 June
Last day of school - 14 June
Last day of kickboxing - 29 June
Last day of Columbus - 30 June

In less than two months, I will pack up and move on from my internship, my job, my graduate program, my apartment, my marriage, my town, my friends, my employment connections, my recreational activity, and my stability. I simply don't have emotions left for anything else these days. Is that so hard to understand?

I am not asking for sympathy. I am not asking for pity. I am not even asking for help.

I'm just saying.

That's a lot of structure to lose in one month.

I hope you are taking care of yourself and getting as much into place /before/ you leave so that you have things to look forward to here.

ACK! I got all therapist on you. Listen to me... blah blah blah structure! :)
(did you giggle?)

You are strong. You are woman (rawr!).
That which does not kill us only makes us stronger.

Last year, in a one week period, I moved, broke up with my boyfriend, and started a new job. It gets better. :)

One thing you won't have to worry about a last day of: m3 cyb3r1ng j00!!!1

Hmm... I wonder if it's significant that the only item you capitalized (other than the proper noun) was "Big Gay Job". Makes one wonder (okay, makes me wonder) if that's the thing you feel you'll miss the most. Whatcha think? On another note, you can always stay here!

*hug* It's a lot to do, sweetie. I remember how I felt last year at this time -- I was leaving social work, moving in with Ralph and getting married all within two weeks! Be gentle with yourself, and let me know if you need anything.

last day of columbus :(

I'm currently weighing the difficulty of my dad being pissed at me with the difficulty of losing a significant chunk of stability.

Staying could be a viable option.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, I capitalized Columbus, too, as it's a proper noun. I consider "Big Gay Job" to be a proper noun, too. :)

But that's a nifty observation!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

You are such a therapist, and I love you.

[auntiesiannan.livejournal.com]

Things change.

[00solstice.livejournal.com]

bleh, admittedly, all of those changes added up is a bit overwhelming.

I don't like the last one... :-(

maybe you could get a higher paying job in Boston, buy a lower cost-of-living house here, and commute by private jet each morning?

you could get one that is like Wonder Woman's invisible jet... nobody will see it, so you don't have to worry about registering it or paying taxes on it. just make sure to remember exactly where you park, because it would be a long walk home!

Thanks for the tip!
