A day in my life Mood
Sunday, May 31, 2009 | A Rambling story

Just a day in my life right now.

 

Had a good night last night. Went out with about 10 people to the club. I was the designated driver(because I trust NOONE to drive my truck) and I had a blast. Didn't have a single drink other than red bull and danced my ASS off. Had a freaking blast.

 

Up this morning/Afternoon at 1030. At the internet cafe for some coffee and internet time. Hanging out on myspace and DS thinking about life and whatever.

 

It really bothers me that I need the touch and feel of a man. I am starting to miss him and want to go home right now. WHY do I need the touch of another person to make me feel safe and loved. That really bothers me but I need it right now.

He is coming up here this coming weekend and I am looking forward to it. Our lines of communication are slowly getting better. He is still sleeping too erratically but I guess overall it is getting better. He says he's going to go back to the day shift when I get home which is what I really want.

 

My daughter is doing great with driving. She has taken a few trips all by herself. Including her first day of work at her first job. I cant believe how grown up she is. What happened to my little bitty baby. I don't feel like I am old enough to have a child that is practically a grown-functioning woman. She is one of the reasons I am trying so hard to make sure I am happy with my life and marriage because she is so smart and sees everything. i want to make sure she makes good decisions in her life and relationships. I don't want her to have to deal with the turmoil I've had to in my life. Though I know it's the only way she'll learn I can at least try to lessen it for her.

 

I am going back down in size again. Don't know why but I seemed to gain 8 pounds since I've been here but its falling off again. I am back to the gym and PT'ing all the time. It feels so good and the sun actually shows up about once a week up here now so that is helping my moods definately.

 

Knowing that I AM going back to my old unit and my old job again is comforting in the long run. I still am embarrased to show back up still enlisted but the CAPT and RDML have both told me I have done the right thing and they don't care what I wear on my uniform as I am a good sailor no matter what. I am grateful for that.

 

I am leaving here at the end of June. I told my husband I am coming home. I am very nervous about it but its the only way I can prove to myself once and for all if this will work. I have said all along that I love him and I know that you cannot hate someone unless you love them so I know I still love him. I just don't know how much more emotional turmoil I can handle so going home is really scareing me but we'll see.

 

So now I concentrate on my work here during the week. And on my time off I am concentrating on me. It's time to get my affairs in order and prepare to return to the life I was living. Though now, there are no secrets, I cannot fairly be angry at him for anything as I have opened it up and told him most if not all of everything I have felt and want. The key is to keep it like this, because honestly, right now when I talk to him now I feel like me. I told him he has to love me for me and he says he does so we'll see if that is really true when I get home. I am slowly finding myself again and I think he is slowly finding ways to make himself happy too. THAT is all I really want from him anyway....for HIM to be happy.

 

Im hungry now, think it's time for food.

    I know that up and down, back and forth life like the back of my hand. I know how it feels to keep adjusting yourself in an effort to please them. Rejection fear is powerful! It's hard to explain this to other people. They think everything is black and white, absolute or not. I feel your pain. Good luck keeping your communication open. I hope all goes well for you.
