mistake

 I don't make mistakes very often, but when I do, they're a doozy. 


God damn Mustard. I was so done with him. So done. But then he called, and I just wanted everything to be okay again. He was in Bowling Green Ohio and asked me to come visit. I had to work, but I called out, just so that I could go see him. To prove that I would go the extra mile? I don't know.  It was supposed to be a great night of fun, and then a day of adventure and showing me around the city that he went to college in.  What did it end up being? Sigh. He was drunk by the time I got there, and had passed out on the bed. He was awake for some fun for about an hour and a half, but then fell asleep. He woke up the next morning with an intense hangover, like unable to move and was going to throw up.... finally he got up when he realized his other side chick canceled his flight. (I didn't know she was still in the picture, though I should have guessed.) The next 3 hours were spent trying to book a new flight and lock her out of his frequent flier information. Then we drove to the airport and went our separate ways.  In the first moments of my being there, he showed me a text that he was in the middle of writing to me, but my name in his phone was not my name. Which means he's around girls and doesn't want them to know we text. My heart shriveled and died in that moment.  

I cannot. There is nothing more.

a month later

 Not all in. Ups and downs and sideways. 


My life was pretty much of a disaster over the month of October. I didn't make progress on the book like I wanted to. Heath was a straight mess of on again off again. I had no job, and was unable to find one. Nothing was working out. I had to call a debt from my brother who owed me $1300, by transferring it to another brother, because I was down to my last $100. I hadn't been that poor since I was 18.  So the feelings of failure and indescribable stress were every moment of my life. 


The month of November however, has been a welcome change. Everything feels like it's coming together. Even closure - hopefully- with H.  I can't keep on this yo yo, I feel like he's killing my love, and I hate that, but the fact remains. 


I was assigned a 10th grader to mentor, I am about to do a class to teach literacy to adults, I have my first client with the Barefoot Life Coach, I had someone order desserts for a popular event- so Pieces O' Ate is back in business.  So MANY good things.
