Happy birthday to my spirit sister, Bonnie Dunks (Jan 1) and
to my mum, Phillis Moyer (Jan 2)…
Got to spend my birthday (Dec 30) and the end of 2012 with
two of my favorite people, Diana and Oscar Troldahl; which kept me from
admitting myself to the psych ward for the week! I got back to Battle Creek in
time to join my honey Jeff for a New Years Eve party at his cousin’s house…
yes, that’s right, me at a party with lots of people that I don’t know. Thanks
to his being a sweetie and staying by my side 99% of the time (I went to the
bathroom alone, thank you), I actually managed to avoid 99% of my expected
panic attacks.
Started to flip a couple of times, but it wasn’t noticeable to
anyone else (and not just because it was New Years Eve and alcohol was flowing
freely). Guess I am getting better at hiding them… I got to kiss my sweetie at
midnight, and managed to only cry for a minute over the losses of 2012 (which
should have been a ten-hour crying jag, to do it justice). And I even managed
to hide that from everyone! Or at least no one said anything, if they did
notice…
I suggested that my New Year resolution be to stop telling
him that I love him every five minutes, but he said no, I didn’t need to do
that. Which I thought was awfully sweet of him; I know sometimes it bothers him
how much I care about him because he just isn’t used to it…
UPDATE ON GRADES: I got an A in both literature classes and
a B+ in my English 152 class. The B+ was two points short of an A-… the pain,
the agony!!!
