Promised Update!

So, I promised I would update you all on the events of late.  Drumroll, please.  I contacted Millie again.  I couldn't take the heartache any longer.  She was in my thoughts several times each day and my dreams a few times a week, so I decided to send her a text.

Since I had nothing to lose, I laid everything on the line: my feelings, thoughts, dreams, regret, heartache.  Either she would tell me never to contact her again, we would talk and cut it off, talk and be friends, or talk and it would go somewhere.

She and I have matured rather much since our break-up 9 months ago.  We talked about everything that happened during the time apart, even the topics that were painful.  Though I hated to do so, I told her about absolutely everything that happened while we were apart.

It turned out she felt the same as I!  What a shocker!  I was still madly in love with her, and she was still madly in love with me.  We decided we wished to start our relationship again and try our hardest this time.  I sincerely want to be with her no matter what happened/happens.  On June 25th, 6 months after our former anniversary, Millie asked me to be her girlfriend, and I, of course, said yes!

It's incredible how easy it was to fall back into the comfortable familiar state we were in before.  I feel right at home with her, even more than I do at my actual home.  Unfortunately, we are currently long distance as we live on opposing sides of the country.  I'm planning to visit her in September.  This trip will be a major deciding factor in our relationship.  While I'm there, I will explore housing options and job opportunities and decide if I can imagine myself living there long-term.  I currently believe I will be confident with the move.  If I can, I will move as soon as I have my goal amount in savings and have a job and housing secured.  After Millie finishes her spring term of courses, she will move in with me.  It will be much easier financially at that time because we will split expenses.

Nothing about this relationship will be easy, but it is totally worth all the troubles.  I love her with all my being and will do whatever it takes.  Knowing what it is like without her in my life fuels my dedication towards our relationship even further.

Millie-  I'm so incredibly thankful to have you in my life once again and am very proud to be your girlfriend.  Though times will be tough (as they already have), I will always love you, and you have my full support.  We will fight the opposition and succeed in the end.  I have hope in us!  The good times we have together make the struggle and hard times worth it.

Forever and always,
Maude

Finally Better!

Update:

2 weeks ago, I had a follow-up with my doctor.  The PID wasn't from the Mirena, so it's still in.  According to the doc, it's doing it's job, and the PID was from a bacterial infection which took another pound of antibiotics to kill.  Thankfully, I'm now feeling a lot better in those regards.

A lot has been going on lately, and I promise to update you on all the happenings very soon!  It's all rather exciting and is bringing a lot of positive change to my life!  I'm so excited to share the amazing news with you all, and I promise it'll be soon!

Love always,
Maude

Graduation

Luna is graduating tomorrow.  I'm so proud of her!  It's definitely going to be a tough day for her though.  So many emotions come with such a major change and huge event.  It's so hard to believe it's been a year since my graduation.  I don't care to think back to that time.  So much has changed since then.  Luna is leaving for a fun trip after it's over.  Hopefully, that'll help take her mind off of things.  I got her a little something as a graduation gift.  I hope she likes it.

Wishing her all the best,
Maude

And the surprise was...

I got a major haircut!

The other night, I caught a whim of "Hey! I want short hair!", so I grabbed the scissors and viola!

What do you think?

Instagram!

Hello everyone!

Hope you enjoy!

Sick & Cleaning

Working on a good amount of cleaning this evening.  Still not feeling up to par by any means, but I'm trying to push through and be productive.

I was in the emergency room yesterday for 5 hours.  Went in thinking it was my appendix because of the area of pain, but it turned out to be something way different.  Because of my IUD, Mirena, I got a lovely case of pelvic inflammatory disease.  Thursday, I have a follow-up appointment with my gynecologist to have the Mirena removed.  I hope the PID didn't cause any damage.  If it has, I'll go from there, but I'm not worrying now.  No since in it because I don't know anything just yet.  To cure the PID, I received 2 massive doses of antibiotics.  My arm still hurts right much from the shot and IV.

Thankfully, Shadow, Soxy, and Annabelle, my indoor furry pals, can all tell I don't feel well and have been giving my loads of love and attention today.  My family, on the other hand, hasn't been of much assistance.  Even after I got home from the ER last night, I was responsible for fixing food, drinks, and anything else I needed.  Mom was still mad I hadn't shaved yet and begged me to do so, so I did.  Can't have her nagging on me anymore over such a trivial thing as shaving.  Currently, I'm feeling rotten, but the pain medicine the doctor gave me is helping some.

Well, I reckon I'm going to head back to cleaning and continue Thelma and Louise.

Love always,
Maude

What To Do

Hmm.  What to do; what to do.

I'm having reoccurring thoughts and dreams.  No matter how hard I try to make them stop, they weasel their way right back into my life.

I don't know how to make it end, nor if I want them to stop.

But wait.

Stop.

The thoughts and dreams must end!  They're ruining my views, wishes, desires, everything!

Hmm.  What to do; what to do.

Sleep

For some reason lately, sleep has been in either excess or lacking. It is currently 5:25 am here, and I'm still awake.  What gets me is that I'm not even tired!  If I take my sleep medicine, however, I sleep 15-18 hours!  I think I shall bring this up with my doctor Wednesday.  Something is definitely not right, and it needs to be fixed soon.

In other news, a new YouTube video will be posted on Saturday!

Best regards,
Maude

Surprise!

I told Luna I had a surprise for her when we hangout Saturday.  Between changing my appearance and changing something in my living quarters, she guesses it's a change in my appearance, specifically a new piercing or tattoo.  Will she be right?  We'll find out Saturday!

Until then,
Maude

Road Trip!

Today, I was hanging out with my best friend, Jesse.  She and I have decided to save up, and, in a year or so, we will embark in an amazing road trip across America and possibly into Canada, too!  I'm so excited!  We will probably leave after I return from my first year or so of being an au pair.


Currently, I'm researching the prices of having a Class C RV or driving and paying for hotel rooms and eating out along the way.  As I find more information, I shall post it here.  We have looked up basics, and, so far, it seems driving and purchasing hotel rooms would be cheaper.  I am kind of hoping I will be able to purchase an RV and go that route.  (Get it?  Route?  Road trip?  I'm incredibly punny when it comes to jokes.)  If we take an RV, I can bring my babies with us!  By the way, my two babies are Shadow and Soxy, my amazing cats whom I love dearly.  I would hate to leave them with my parents again as my family will care for them while I am in another country for a year or so being an au pair.
In research, I am pricing hotel rooms to get a general idea of their prices, looking into travel rewards credit cards, planning the route, looking into things to do while we are in each city, and generally planning everything.  She and I need to save up around $3,000 each (so far) in order to embark on are incredible adventure!
I shall update you again soon.
As excitement ensues,




Maude

1-Year Project

2 months ago, I challenged myself to go a year without shaving, meaning shaving absolutely nothing for 12 months.  As afore mentioned, I'm 2 months into my challenge.  Today, my mom finally noticed I haven't shaven my armpits or legs.  She said if I don't shave very soon, she would use her shaving/hair-plucker machine thing.  I don't know what it's called, but it's very painful.  My dad agrees her.  Why much society be so against women not shaving?  It is totally fine for a men, but for a woman not to shave?  Oh, that's just so gosh-darn terrible!  My dear readers, what should I do?  Should I give in to the looming threats of my parents or stand my ground against them?  All advice is accepted.

Many thanks,
Maude
