I travelled to Ann Arbor to enjoy a gracious gentleman who not only took me dancing but stroked my hair while we watched a movie - I needed that. I needed to be touched by someone who was not a medical professional and was not trying to "get anywhere" with me. Just a friend. A much needed & appreciated friend. I loved the time we spent. We watched Casshern & as the camera panned out at one point I said it reminded me of Diamond Age - he understood what I was talking about. When the camera showed us vats of neo cells to grow human parts it reminded me of the vats that the clones are grown in during Transmetropolitan - he understood that as well. It was so nice to be understood. On the drive home I was struck by just how much I had needed that. To be appreciated for me and not for misunderstood promises of sex, or just because I stood by when others ran, or because it feels good to have a girl go gaga over you. I slept alone on the couch with the cats (really sweet blue-eyed cats) wandering in & out. It was just a much needed moment of time.
I'm afraid & worried about what the hell my body is doing - bleeding for almost 3 weeks, full cramps & menses symptoms. Tests all done/being done & I have no idea what the results are yet. My arm is still bruised from the blood draw. & this weekend my gracious host was understanding of the fact that I was a weak creature & the dancing wore me out. One freakin hour of dancing wore me out - I just feel lame as Hell for that one. Still feeling alone here.
I cleaned and puttered around the house today got groceries & handled a few of the nagging lil oddities that I have to do within normal world business hours. Pretending to be all grown up. Today is one of those days where I feel like I am failing that miserably. I don't take failure well. Appetite is shot. Sleep is coming & then we'll see what tomorrow may bring.
