Some changes, some firsts.

Have been looking at old posts, and wondering how life has changed.... Well, it hasn't. Still pining. Still in a dead-end relationship. Still mooning about how depressing life is. But, amongst the things that have changed, recently -

Got rid of an old piece of metal furniture which was too shabby to keep, but to which I clung out of a misplaced sense of nostalgia.

Got a new wicker basket. Hate the plasticky laundry baskets that are available so cheap, in all the markets. Had always wanted a wicker laundry basket.

Got two new scars, from viral skin infections.

Got my old vitamin deficiency back again.

Got a new bag, as a gift. Gave away a new bag, as a gift.

Got sick after drinking beer.

Got sick after drinking fancy herbal tea.

Got nervous about sex, all over again.

Got kissed by one more man.

Got an extra kilo on my thighs.

Got over my panic/shame and finally, said 'I love you' to a man.

Yes, that's a first, actually! Had felt it and written it, but had never looked at a man in the eye and said it. At this ripe old age! And of course, then I burst into tears. He never said, 'I love you too'.
