Drumrolls, please?

Wow, where to start? I haven't made a real journal entry since... the end of March. Egads. That's a long time. Let me look over that entry to see what's happened since...

-Reading. Put on some music to keep your attention until I get back-

Alright. Wow. A lot has went on. My flare subsided, work hours went back to normal. Stephanie and I made up (she broke up with Richard-fuck and is going back to school next year to graduate). Chris did come out, just later than expected. More on that at the end of this.

Between now and then what has happened... Well, I had to replace TWO of my tires. One day mom and I were driving Heather to work and one of my tires blew on the highway. The other one was damn close. So there went 200$. That was awful. I was without a car for over a week plus that was money I didn't really have to spend. I finally swapped shifts at work a couple weeks ago; now I work 11.30 - 5.30. I think it suits me a lot better. I've noticed a general decrease in pain; not a whole lot, but a bit. We're gonna be moving in September to another of mom and dad's rentals. It needs a lot of work but in exchange for working on it, they're taking off the 400$ worth of rent for us. I've been in love with this place for years; I'm glad we're finally moving in. Bills are gonna go up, but we'll be fine. Other than that... I think that things have been fairly calm. 

Now, the part you're all waiting for... Chris' visit. It was fantastic. Amazing. Mind-blowing. Just spectacular. I had SO much fun with him. We went and saw Captain America and the new X-Men movie; both were great. We played D&D for five days with mom and had some great adventures, including shark-person sex (not me, her), drowning and falling off cliffs due to an unfortunate string of natural ones (me, not her), in-character religious debates (she worshipped Thor, me Loki), and other awesome stuff. Was a good campaign, which will lead to another in the future. We did a lot of talking about the past, the present, and the future. He was wholly impressed with how I've changed and grown, which was good. And yes, I know the question is weighing on you...

We totally had sex. Lots of it. It was fucking glorious. Dear gods, going 15 months without sex and then finally getting it was fan-fucking-tastic. Never again will I go that long without. Though it did remind me how fucking much I hate the issue with my leg because it doesn't like any pressure for more than five minutes or so, so that makes certain positions hard for me. 

And the REAL question that you all want answered... Are we getting back together? Did Operation Xaebel succeed?

Well...

-drumroll-

Yes. 

Though, it wasn't immediate. When he was here, we talked about it. But nothing was ever set in stone because things could have changed when he went home. But then yesterday, he messaged me and told me to make the arrangements, that he was coming home as soon as I could come get him. I was so happy I was shaking. So I'm in the process of trying to scrounge up the money to drive out there and pick him and Winry (his kitten) up and bring him home, which isn't the easiest feat. On that note... if anyone wants to donate to the fund... my PayPay email is lovelikewynter@live.com. >.>

So things are finally looking up. This is good. It took long enough.
