Feb 23rd

Yesterday was an adventure. I woke up with a horrible migraine and I felt like my head was going to explode. I felt like I had a bad ear infection... I couldn't walk straight I was so dizzy. Then my mom's mother in law has been really sick, so my mom and I went with her mil to the ER. I started feeling better, and came home at ate. I was pretty awake and couldn't sleep, so I called Geo. He and I had a good talk. He has been suppressing his emotions to help me deal with my craziness. I told him that wasn't fair, and to talk to me about how he's feeling. It's just hard with him, since he is not a big talker and I am. Still, we had a good talk, and he opened up to me. We have a lot of issues we need to work on, but we love each other. Love is not like they say in the story books, I have learned that. Keeping a relationship going takes work. It's not bad work, because you love that person, but it still takes work. It's even more with us, since we are both mentally ill and disabled. Hopefully we can talk some more tonight, and get some more things worked out. It's funny, even after 5 years of being together, I'm still learning things about Geo. I know in the long-term, 5 years isn't that long, but it's the longest relationship I have had. I'm just so glad to have someone so patient that puts up with my crap.
