Grief and anger


I have been quite a bit under the weather lately.
Weekends are especially hard. This weekend was especially hard.
I spent most of my Saturday crying - I have to thank my sister for taking me out in the afternoon and wasting some time chatting with me on the phone last night.
I had a panic attack last night - the first one in about two years. I knew what to do, but it's not a pleasant situation nonetheless.
And I have serious problems in eating proper meals - especially at night, I am not hungry. I got sick on Fri morning while at the synthesis reactors, but was able to finish my work there, come out, and then a colleague looked at me and had me eat something, right there.

Tomorrow I'll have something similar to do, I am praying I'll be able to get some decent night sleep tonight, and finish my breakfast tomorrow without feeling nauseous.

It all comes from a sad discovery. My (now) ex-bf waited for me to get out of his apartment to immeditely start dating another girl. When confronted, he said she's noone important - which I can even believe, if it wasn't for the whole attitude - you are out, I am now free- which hurts me.

I am so tired of feeling so sick for him. I'd like to cancel the last three years of my life. I am so sad and angry I cannot even explain it. I am not able anymore to sit and study music without start crying. I don't love the things I used to love. Spring is here, but I only whish I could go to sleep 'till next fall.

It's not the first time I have been in this situation - but somehow, every time it hurts like the first time.

Oh dear, I'm so sorry to read this and realize I have stayed away to long from your blog and keeping in touch.
I'm terribly sorry that someone you cared deeply about proved so unworthy of you.
Do let yourself grieve...it's the only way to grow past the pain.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry you have to go through this. With what he did, it's little wonder that you're feeling so crappy. I don't know what I could say that would make this in any way better for you, but I'm sorry to hear what you're going through and I'll be thinking of you.

Taking Stock

Image
  After a long hiatus, I decided to start writing again... I don't expect anyone to really be reading, but I just love so much going through my old entries, it's a sort of treasured diary. The image above was taken on April 25th (bank holiday here), during our bike ride at the Aqueducts park in Rome. Such a beautiful day! So much has changed since last time I wrote here, I don't know where to start. So I start by taking stock! Making:  eggplant pesto. As requested by my girl, who loved it last summer. I stopped doing it during the winter, as eggplant were not so good, but husband found some nice ones and as I write they are in the oven. Drinking : water and more water. The sparkling one, thanks! Watching : videos (youtube and instagram) on home and food organizing, fitness, and, of course, makeup. Love Love Love Johnny Ross ! Reading : Minimalism , by Gwyneth Snow. Will need to start applying the suggestions, though! Enjoying : working from home 3 days a week. Makes me even

BDIB - Arm Party!

Image
  This is my second time participating in the Bloggers Do it better series.  This time, the theme is " Arm Party ". And I am glad Kristina had this idea, because it pushed me to take out and wear my bangles...  I wore this outfit - it's an exact repetition, so I didn't take pictures.  And here is the arm Party! I bought the six striped bangles during my trip to Corsica, 20 years ago. They are six like the letters that compose my name.The brown one is from a store in Buffalo. The thin one is even older, it's about 25 years old! A classmate gave me a bunch of them (it was the 80's and Madonna was just starting to get famous) and I somehow managed to keep this one through the years. Now I want to start wearing all the other bangles I have, too!
