The week continues to be good...yesterday afternoon I ran some errands, including going to the bank, where apparently they will give you a scented candle on your birthday. Who would have known? I also met up with my old man for lunch, and that was really nice. I love spending time with him. :-)

Last night a bunch of us went out to AA's as planned for some good times. Our waitress was awesome and totally hooked us up...I like that bar more and more everytime I go down there. After awhile we decided not to continue to suffer through the band playing, so we all headed over to Joe's for some Family Guy. Was out waaay too late, but like I have anything better to do!

Heather called this morning so we went thrifting for awhile this afternoon. I didn't find any clothes, but I did find a very cool gothic wallmount candle holder, AND...you're gonna love this...a 5 peice Harry Potter Christmas ornament set! And yes, one of the minatures is Snape. :-)

Tonight I'll be heading down Blacksburg of course for party #3: The Cellar at 10pm. Several people have already said they'd drop by, so I'm looking forward to that.

Overall I am feeling soooo much better. I had been really stressed out lately, especially at the beginning of this week, but on Wednesday things just started to bleed away. I have this kind of closure 'ritual' I guess whenever I leave a place. There are always certain places or certain rooms that I feel like I've spent a lot of time in, poured a lot of emotional energy into. So I usually will take some time and just sit down quietly for awhile in those places and kind of reflect on the things that had passed in that room. I had two specific areas at work that held a lot of memories for me, and as I sat in each on Wednesday and thought about some of the events of the past, I felt a very welcomed sense of peace.

Like I wrote the other day, I think that I've done the best I could do in any situation that's come up along the way. I'm sad that in the end, a lot of the relationships I've had have ended less than perfectly, but I realize...you know...this is what I have. This is what I have here. It's all over now, there's nothing left to fight for and nothing left to grieve. It may not have been the best few years, but I've had some great experiences, and all of these things have made me who I am today. And they've made me ready for what I'm getting ready to do.

My old man keeps asking me if I'm ok, and how I'm doing. And I am doing just fine. I've got a new sense of energy and excitement. I've got things planned out, new things happening. I feel like I regained control of my life again yesterday.
