what lovely storms we've had here today!
*crash* *bang* *crack* *boom* !!!!! who knew daylight could get even brighter with the addition of lightning?!
jake's car still wouldn't start this morning, had an racv dude come take a look and it seems his starter motor is stuffed! so he's spending his holiday here instead of with a mate over in warburton!
so a blackout from the lightning storm certainly makes it interesting lol
his car will be collected first thing monday morning for repairs... fingers crossed not too expensive!
so i guess i sorta have a housemate again for the weekend lol
went to sharon's shop... put $5 deposit on a beautiful mirror.... lovely big timber frame surround.... small bevelled edges on the glass... she's a good saleswoman lol
andrew came up to visit for the afternoon, and watch the storm roll in with us... was great to catch up, find out what each other has been up to... i'm really happy for him that he's taken control of his life and knows what direction he wants to take himself to. i'm very proud. :-) and he's looking really well too... so that's good too!
dropped him at deryck's place after 7pm... deryck was out the front putting rubbish in the bin... sorta gave me a half filthy look but avoided looking at me... considering everything that's happened, it really didn't twang anything in my mind at all... knowing that he doesn't hang out with bailey anymore either is also something that pleases me...
i think it makes me feel like i'm back in a position where i was before i met bailey initially, thinking at the time that i was on my way to recovery - which i now am, with reduction in medication etc... and not giving a toss much about other people that don't matter to me...
i'll always remember the hurt that those two caused me, and how low i got and how much trouble i felt i was in mentally, but i don't react to it like i used to... and considering how much less medication i take these days compared to back then, i'm very proud to be feeling the way i am today.
free of the pain. the mental pain they caused me... the mental pain i caused for myself... the physical pain i caused for myself at times... the anger and frustration i felt towards them.... how much pain i wanted to inflict on them...
i guess it means i'm at peace with that part of my life and the size of the book of that story no longer occupies as much space on the bookshelf in my mind
once again i thank my brain for the "see you next tuesday's story", i close the book, place it back on the shelf, and move on from it (for hopefully one of, if not the, last times)
and smile - it's a beautiful cold night and wintery day tomorrow!! :-)
