googling how it’ll take to get to another city because the tattoo artist you’ve been saving up to go to is moving

[incorrect-tmnt2012-quotes]

Raph: Leo! Pizza! Delivery, NOT DiGiorno!

Mikey: Ooh, I want one with pepperoni! And one with sausage! And one with ham!

Donnie: Meat lover's. You want a meat lover's pizza.

Mikey: Nah, I actually like to keep the meats separate. I wanna savor each animal.

Donnie: Wait, but they're all pig-

Mikey: Ooh, but for the one with ham, make it Hawaiian!

Raph: Hawaiian? I never heard of that kind of pizza.

Mikey: Oh, it's super good! It's ham and pineapple!

Raph: That's disgusting! Why would you ruin perfectly good pizza with PINEAPPLE?!

Mikey: What? No, it's the best! It plays so well with the ham and the tomatoes-

Raph: It's an abomination and I now believe the Kraang did nothing wrong! Why would you put sweet and juicy fruit on top of a salty delicious pizza?!

Donnie: To be fair, Raph, tomato is a fruit.

Raph: Don't you play Kavaxas' advocate here, Donnie! Unless you suggest we start filling calzones with raspberry jam!

Mikey: That sounds delicious!

Raph: OF COURSE YOU'D SAY THAT! I am an epicurean! You wolf down Big Macs like Tic Tacs!

Mikey: Ooh! I want a burger now! Can we just do burgers instead?

Raph: Now that you mention it, I could go for some Whataburger. Wait no, In-N-Out! NO, Shake Shack!

Leo: I have a preference for Hopdoddy's, personally.

Raph: I'll take a double bacon cheeseburger, caramelized onions, lettuce, chipotle mayo, and ketchup. No pickles.

Mikey: And I'll take the same thing, but with grilled pineapple.

Raph: AHHHHHH!!!

Yesterday's lunch was the El Diablo burger from Hopdoddy and their nacho fries. 7/10 overall and they could be more clean inside. For dinner I had spicy crab roll and futo maki roll. This went right through me and I won't go back there.

They say when a friendship lasts 7 years, they're in your life forever. I have found that to not be true. But when the friendship has lasted since the 80s through the best and worst of our lives, yeah, they're family! These two are more family than some relatives. IYKYK... Every single day I'm thankful for them. ❤️🤟🏻❤️ #70sBabies #80sFriends #BFF #BestFriends #Family #Framily #FriendsAreFriendsForever #BestFriendship #Friendship #Christmas #Gifts #Thankful #SingleMom #TexasGirl #Over40 #GenX #Follow (at Hopdoddy Burger Bar) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmhlu2spDep/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I have to get this out so I can start to let the trauma of the last week go and let the healing and re-affirmation continue to permeate through me and dominate my mind.

Seeing Steven this weekend in Austin was everything I needed it to be. It did take the whole weekend; it was not reconciled in one night.

When I arrived, I saw his work truck. I took a look around the front of the house and peered into the side left yard once I noticed there were two front doors. Strange, I thought, he usually likes privacy and this might be a duplex with this door situation. I chose to knock on the left door based off the layout I imagined from the photos he had sent. I knocked once. I heard heavy footsteps start and pause. Then start start again, coming closer to the door. He opened the door and had such a beautiful, emotional, and surprised look on his face as he said, "You're here!" Later I learned he was in the bathroom and had not heard my knock at all and was headed out to his truck at that time to retrieve wrapping paper for Cameron's Titanic book. I love looking back on that moment and understanding his greeting fully.

He brought me in for a hug on the porch and, after hugging back a few moments and unsure of how much comfort to take, I asked if we could go inside. Once inside, I said I didn't want to cry outside. He pulled me to him again and I broke down saying, "I've been through so much," over and over again. He was crying too, saying, "I'll never give up on you." I sobbed harder and asked, "Really? I'm so relieved to hear you say that."

The details from here are hazy because there were multiple talks and the way I felt evolved through them.

We sat down on the deep little couch and I said I needed to know what was on his mind and how everything was for him since during our video call on July 4th, I had predominated the conversation. He said that call had been for him to check on me. But he said the conversation with Rilley helped him understand my better. That it was reassuring to know Rilley and I had been through a similar event (of me having a strong reaction to feeling set aside for something else). He was saying all these beautiful, reassuring things but I just couldn't let him back in fully. There were still things unsettled in my mind. I wanted to trust him fully but I wasn't ready yet. I said there might be many reasons for it but I was still in that same place I was Saturday and Sunday and my body would not let me calm down. He I could take all the time I needed.

I eventually cut us off after talking about how I still didn't understand his reaction because I had tried to explain EVERYTHING about how I am and why since the beginning. I said we had food to eat and a party to attend and I did not want to keep going down this path. [I was still not confident that I needed more from him. I thought it might still just be my anxiety/depression/attachment issues not letting go.]

We needed to get out there and do this stuff. So, we did. And it was friendly. Being friends again was easy. Going to Hopdoddy for take-out. Seeing dogs; going to pet them. I ate, got ready, listened to drafts of his letter to Cameron, and wrapped the book neatly for him. While eating I think we had more therapeutic discussion (and co-regulatory breathing).

We went out to the apartment, I felt awkward not knowing everyone but I tried. I could feel anxiety rising, could feel myself start to clam up, toward the end of the apartment portion of the night so I downed a little wine to just forget it and keep going. At karaoke I sipped a little alcohol to keep going as well. And bitch I let off some steam and performed for those fucking people and belted my SHIT out.

But they kept extending the room and it was going later than I thought I could hold out for.

Anxiety was turning to panic and I let him know I wanted to go. He easily got us out and we ubered back. Waiting on the ride and throughout the ride, the panic was setting in and making me probably unrecognizable. He was probably trying to figure it out. Back at the house I could barely give instructions on how to help me or explain what was going on. He did not do a very good job and I didn't let him anyway. I wished Rilley was there for me. We did talk a little about panic attacks and PTSD (acute stress disorder technically).

Going to bed that night was hard. Lying next to him and thinking I would be misunderstood and not well taken care of for the rest of our time together. So I vowed I'd talk to him when we got up. I barely slept that night. Again. I took multiple meds throughout the night trying to reach sleep; they all failed. Again. I still wasn't sure if any of this would ever be okay again.

He woke up before me and went into the main part of the house after using the restroom. I used the restroom as well, then returned to the bedroom where he was reclined on the bed. I sat down on the bed and said there was just one more thing I needed to open up and be vulnerable about. I asked if he was ready for another serious conversation just after waking up. He was. I said that I was still unsettled, that I felt like this all was just going to be me and my mental illness and him not giving up on me but that it was still essentially me needing to change (and him not understanding mental health and how to help support someone through the extremes like panic attacks). Though my reaction was extreme on Saturday and Sunday, I still felt so hurt, unseen, misunderstood, and abandoned by him. Again, I said my reaction was bad and I had apologized. But I reminded him how haunted I've been and how I still could not sleep last night. And I thought I needed him to owe up to his part and apologize for the hurt. I also said maybe he needs to learn more about all this. He started to apologize but used the word "intention". I said I'm sorry but you have to understand that I know you didn't intend to hurt me but the hurt was still very real.

He took my hand, looked me in the eyes with glassy profound emotion and gave me the apology I needed and that he would read anything I asked him. I WISH TO GOD I COULD HAVE RECORDED IT TO REPLAY FOR MYSELF WHENEVER I NEEDED.

I thanked him for that. And asked if I could hug him. I climbed into his lap and we held each other and caressed each other, running hands over skin and hair. Holding tightly, breathing chest to chest in synchrony. He placed kisses at my neck and I accepted them. I kissed him. At some point we pulled back and there was an unspoken understanding before our lips drew together. And it was us again. He kissed my breasts and reached down but I told him I wasn't ready for the latter yet. I made space between us and asked if I could touch him. He consented and we had a little more serious conversation, I said I hadn't been sure if we'd ever have sex again but that I came prepared for anything. We laughed at the act being done during the conversation. I asked if we could have gentle sex; not to achieve anything but just to start rekindling that aspect of our closeness. He asked if it was okay to set a timer since we were nearing the check-out of the airbnb. I said that was okay. 25 minutes set. We ended up completing with 8 minutes to spare. Him arriving right after me. (He had asked if I brought my vibrator and wanted to use it. Wasn't much longer from that point.)

We talked more at the Tiger bakery. I'm not remembering the details because I am so exhausted. I remember learning that is stronger than me as far as not letting the discomfort of 80-hr work weeks in the heat get the better of him and bring down his performance. That's why he doesn't really talk much about it or complain like I do. I admire that so much and wish I had that skill.

But I am ready to let this all go now and move toward progress with him. I was so moved by his tears and expressions and words. And the fact that he gave me the ones I needed when I asked for them.

I wonder if this was the trip the fortune teller saw. The one she said was successful. If it was 2-3 hours instead of the 2-3 weeks or months she had spoken about. It's all so fascinating to let coincidences be seen.

In hindsight I should have gone there Friday for me. But I'm glad he got to spend time with those close friends of his that night instead. I think it was all for the best.

I'm so glad I didn't lose him. And that he didn't lose me.

It went way better than I had thought it would.

Being back at my house SUCKS just a little because I'm just slightly on edge again. Just slightly. I joked on snap I need to sage this fucking house because of the last however many weeks of HELL that played out within these walls. I hope I can convince them that I am home again.

I wish I could vividly remember this morning the point I could play it like a movie in my head.

----

Again, my mind and body are so exhausted.

And coming back to ground zero kind of sucks.

I think I'll sleep tonight. I hope I'll sleep tonight.

And he did like my second playlist.

My period started yesterday and my god. The cramps were terrible; I had to stay off my wl meds to prevent it from getting worse and had to take off work.

I had ordered Hopdoddy's last night with my husband. If you don't know what that is, it's considered a gourmet burger restaurant in my area. The last time I was there was years ago, and I remembered the burgers being really thick and delicious, and I was really craving protein.

Bro.. bro it was so disappointing! Christ, it is now the equivalent of fast food slop; which if you're in a pinch there's nothing wrong with fast food, but with Hopdoddy's you're paying a super expensive price for something you could have gotten down the street for 1/4 of the price!

Nothing gets my blood boiling more than spending a lot of money and wasting calories on food that's not even good or doesn't meet expectations.
