Free therapy?

I haven't been good about updating my blog, but perhaps that is because I've been busy, or that I haven't had much to say. I guess I figure that people don't really care to read about my random thoughts, but now that I don't have a boyfriend to listen to them perhaps I'll just type them out.

I spent my first Saturday night as a single gal lying on the couch, watching Law & Order SVU, and drinking diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. Exciting, huh? Of course the caffeine just kept me up later so I watched a free on Demand movie as well. I could not motivate to do any school work (which I have tons of because mid-terms are upon us), and almost didn't make myself a PB&J sandwich because I thought it might require too much effort. I look around this apartment and can't even think about packing a box, or moving furniture out.

I have enlisted the help of the neighbor upstairs to help me pack on Friday. We spent this morning jump starting Brian's car so she could get hers out of the driveway and while we were waiting for AAA to come I told her the situation. And guess what? She and her husband are getting a divorce. They decided the same thing about their relationship at about the save time. The difference is that they have been married for 7 years, they are still good friends, and she isn't moving out till June. I would have never known that if Brian's car didn't start this morning, and both of us are glad to know that there is someone nearby going through the same thing, so we can chat about it. Her situation is of course worse in that she has to file for divorce and stay through the lease, but at least they are still friends and still care about each other. Whereas, Brian appears to never want to see me again. Hopefully those feelings are only temporary, but you never know...

Sad news

Brian and I broke up last weekend, so I am now moving out in the next week. I had hoped that we would still be friends but I think that will take time. I am trying to focus on the day to day, like getting through midterms, then packing and moving, then worrying about where I'll end up this summer. I've been toying with the idea of leaving Boston for my clinical and I think it would be a great time for me to clear my head and figure myself out. I also think it would give me something to look forward to, since these days there isn't a ton that does that for me. I know that the next few months are going to be difficult, but I think we will both be better off in the long run.
