Invasion of the Parents

So my parents are in town. They flew in Saturday night. I was nervous--didn't know what to expect. But it's been good. We've been hanging out a lot at the apartment. Mom came to my open mic tonight at Chicano Perk. We've got some stuff planned for the weekend. It's nice. As crazy as my parents make me sometimes, it's nice to have the family together for a couple of weeks. Well, the family plus my brother-in-law (grumble, grumble).

Work's still going well. Busy as all hell, but not bad. Keeps me busy, keeps my mind occupied. Always a good thing. The dreaded ex is still on my mind. Why is beyond me. All that matters is what is. Lord knows I still have my moments, but thank God I'm getting past it and have great people supporting me.

As for J and I, we haven't spoken in a few days. We decided to cut the damage short. In time, hopefully, we'll be able to enjoy each other's company again without complications. Until then, we'll make it.

And now it's off to bed, which is the living room floor for now because my parents have occupied my bedroom. I am EXHAUSTED. Work has been something else. More soon. Lots on my mind. I hope all is well in everyone's world. Love to all of you.
