Yearly Reset

 After a 5 year separation from my husband, in legal name only, February 18th can continue to be the day we were married and the day he walked out, or it can just be about me. A day, a time of year that I reset, revive, take stock, reevaluate, congratulate, and indulge. For me. A yearly vacation for me.

It's slow, but I'm taking back control. Being me. Loving me. Protecting me. Trusting me. 

Spending this year in my happy place. It's cold, windy, and rainy at the beach right now. Beautiful. Supposed to clear up tomorrow. Hopefully a few rays of sunshine will appear. Either way, I'm healthy and hopeful and really, really ok. 

I've felt trapped in a weird situation and let it get me down sometimes. That's ok, too. Only good things, Samantha. Only good things.

Time to Share? I have a huge crush. I have a huge crush on a man I've never met in person. I have a huge crush on a man who does things that are very cool. Yesterday in the mail I got the book that he sent me...the book that he wrote...a book about all of his travels and adventures. The more I read this book, the less confident I start to feel about this being a possible "match". I have no idea what I can offer this older, more sophisticated, more worldly man. The biggest adventures in my life are grappling with 18-year old freshmen for a parking space at school, finishing a set of push-ups and pull-ups at the gym, or wrestling my daughter to the ground for a bath. Maybe I can teach him all about Sponge-Bob Square Pants? This is again one of those times where things seem too good to be true. The emails we send back and forth would suggest that there is a great interest and curiosity on both sides, and that something really good could possibly come from this!!! His ...

Am I Going To Die? I just got stung for the first time ever by a wasp . . . So far so good . . . I can still breathe, I haven't swelled up like a balloon, yet . . . But it hurts and itches like crazy!!! It's almost the end of the semester and I am completely swamped! Two projects, two papers, and three finals, all in the next 3 weeks . . . Somehow I'll handle it. I've actually all of sudden "woken up" where school is concerned. I've been in such a daze for like the last 7 or 8 months. The AOC has changed my life as I knew it . . . in good and bad ways!!! Bad because he takes up too much of my thoughts . . . and I need all the brain capacity that I can get!!! Somehow, after years of barely even talking to anyone at work, and only a couple of years of actually being a little more friendly with my co-workers, I seem to have been sucked up in "office politics" and I HATE it! I used to really like going to work . . . now I just want to quit!! It still...
