i have gone 2 days without crying. i have written 10 pages of my book, which is not as much as i should have written, but lately every little victory deserves some recognition.
2 days without crying.
i bought lotion that promises to bronze me within a week. today, after one application, i am already looking darker. they've made these lotions better. i remember a day when it took a whole bottle to see a tiny bit of difference... oh the wonderful advances technology has made. really.
today, feeling energized and empowered for no real reason, i decided to begin packing. all of my laundry was sorted into piles, loads of wash were done. drawers and closets were completely emptied into big plastic boxes according to the season in which i plan to need the contents. full trash bags of old hair products, half used face washes and lotions, broken hair clips, and old make up made their way into the proper garbage receptacle. all my clothing and bathroom products are completely packed away into plastic boxes.
which made it pretty tough to shower and get dressed just now.
but knowing that i'm making progress, that i'm not sitting in a puddle of my own tears, that i'm that much closer to the next step of this awkward grieving process... thats worth having to dig through plastic boxes for underwear.
totally worth it.
