Bummer...

Ack. Sooo...

GQ and I broke up this weekend. Y'know...his mommy issues, our vastly different lifestyles & interests, the stress of my homebuying process, his lack of sports knowledge, my disdain for reggae music...big things, little things...

I could make a long list of reasons, but I'd rather not dwell. I'll do enough obsessing in the coming days, I'm sure...

In my weak moments, I freak out about being single again. I freak out about having just bought a home that "needs work" and not having my former-carpenter boyfriend around to help. I freak out about moving to Berkeley when single life is best served in the city.

But in my strong moments, I remember that I do pretty well when I'm single. I remember that my home has "good bones" and some of the DIY projects I'll take on will be challenging, fun, and rewarding. I remember that there's fun to be had and a life to be lived in Berkeley as well.

I think mostly, I'll just miss him.

So, I busted out my "go to" lunchbag when times get tough...and I remind myself again that LIFE IS GOOD. Indeed.

I'm so sorry to hear this. But it sounds like it was the right decision. Do you need helpers with the house? I'd be glad to jump in and lend a hand :)

Ugh, Susan ... I am so sorry. How I wish we could have a nice long talk over a glass of wine. I love you lady.

I'm so sorry Susan...want some company? I am doing some soul-searching and possibly entertaining the thought of moving to SF. If you need someone to keep you busy, let me know~
