Knitting~Again

My Therapy

-

I finally got the supplies to knit a baby blanket for a friend of mine. I should have gotten it sooner. I've been knitting every day since then and it's helped calm me down more than I imagined possible. You can see more pictures of my progress [here]. I plan to take it with us on our honeymoon.

Man Oh Man

I have been neglecting my blogs. There has been so much going on I haven't had the time or the energy to post. First with the fun stuff! Last Friday (April 14th) Cindi and I had the amazing opportunity to see Kate Clinton perform live in Sacramento. It was so much fun, words cannot describe how funny she is in person. I've loved her columns for quite some time but her live performance is incomparable. After the show she came out front just as we were leaving and Cindi shook her hand, I froze up and just smiled at her. I'd never seen so many lesbians in my life. All weekend every woman we saw looked like a lesbian, it was great!
Sunday morning (which happened to be Easter which I don't celebrate) we got a call from the police saying they'd found our car. It was a block and half away from our apartment. We went to go get it and sign papers and asses the damage. They'd left the windows rolled down and had rummaged around through our stuff and even tried to pull the back seat up. If we hadn't gotten record breaking rain fall during the months it was parked, the car would have pretty much been in the same condition as when it was stolen. But no, it had to sit for two months a block and half away from us with the windows rolled down getting wet and moldy. It's disgusting and smelly. Cindi posted it on Craig's list to see if we can sell it for a few hundred bucks as is. If not we might just donate it. I don't want to go through the stress of having to get it cleaned, probably some repair work so it can pass smog and then pay to advertise it. Not really what I want to spend time and money doing. So we'll see. We jumped the car, rolled up the windows and Cindi drove it home as fast as she could while trying to touch as little as possible.
Other than that drama I've been trying to get caught up on my school work, tie up loose ends on the wedding planning, and deal with all my emotional stuff in regards to my family and the wedding. It's been really hard. I finally had a melt down last night after my therapy appointment and had a good self-pity cry. I'm just having a hard time accepting my parents limitations and realizing I'm never going to get the unconditional love and acceptance I've been wanting my entire life.
