Ms. Imp and her Magic Kumquat

[girlfromipanema]

I feel great. I think it's the weight of not knowing my future being lifted off my shoulders. The limbo I've been living for the past many, many months has taken it's toll. There was so much I wanted to do with our home (amend the garden soil, plant roses and agapanthus, purchase items to make our house a home, etc.) but I didn't know what the "plan" was and felt completely stuck. Now that I know I'm the one in control of my future, I feel a sense of freedom that can't really be described. There is still an underlying sense of sadness, but that is to be expected.

My husband is turning back into the nice guy I used to know. It's so odd. Last night I ran to Walgreen's. He arrived home while I was gone and when I walked in the door he asked, "how was your day?" and, since I'm not used to him asking anything about my life I said, "how was my what?". "Your DAY." "Oh, it was great, thanks. How was yours?" It was just so nice to have a little common courtesy shown. =)
