greenstormEnough escapism and a wonderful home during the windstorm got me, finally, into perspective.
o I've got a fantastic relationship with Juggler, we've done some awesome things in the last while together like go juggling and get my shelves up and watch cheesy movies and have great sex. We feel good together, I can be honest with him, and therefore honest with myself where he's concerned. The relationship is absolutely better to have than not.
o Chris and I are independent beings who don't need a relationship. We have our own houses, our own friends, etc. We haven't seen each other much lately. Despite that we still love each other and want to see each other, and he's willing to come to my place sometimes and I to his so we both get to spend time at home, and also we can spend time apart without it trashing the relationship.
o My rats don't need explaining, but: they're all together, getting along well, and cute.
o My roommates rock. They made a communal dinner last night and we sat around and chatted, but there's no forced socialisation.
o My room is so so so awesome. Computering from the bed, room for plants and my bed is like a marshmallow and I have a stuff-table. It's also warm, has a south-facing window that looks out over someone's roof so no one looks inside my room and I have a view, and vacuums up easily after the rats.
o My job's flexible and gives me accomplishment stuff.
o My friends are cool, even when I drop off the face of the earth for awhile and they're busy, and that means a lot.
As for complaints? Jeeze, I've been way too spoilt. Look at the stuff I was complaining about. "Aww, you gave me a new car that has a scratch on it?" I mean, removing the source of the complaints would remove all the wonderful stuff from my life.
So there's perspective.
