i spent a wonderful day over at my dad's with my cousin rico, his (beautiful italian) girlfriend francesca, and two of my very best friends austin and amanda. it felt good to be goofy and neo-complainy and irreverent and irrelevant. it's weird to socialize as an individual instead of as part of a unit. r is so outgoing and typically i let him take the lead in social situations. it's kind of cool to find that people think i'm a worthwhile conversationalist and maybe even a little funny and charming - all on my own. how do ya like them apples?
i mentioned in passing in one of the past posts that my friendships have grown dramatically in the last 10 months (TEN months). i've reconnected with people in ways i never would have had r not left. i talk to austin several times a week. amanda and i go out at least once a week and do something. i call mike just to talk. my friends have gotten to know and experience my children in a way that's more meaningful than is typical for the average aunty and uncle.
okay i'm done being annoyingly positive, i'm even irritating myself!
