Muchas gracias to all the fine friends who wished me well. I finished the last of the project yesterday afternoon and, in celebration, my husband took me out to a meal and a movie. Turns out one of the oldest multi-screen theaters in our nearby town has turned into a dollar theater without me knowing it, and they had Pirates of the Caribbean! W00t!
My god, I love that film. I simply don't have words for the love I feel toward it. I wish now that I had been able to see it in a theater filled with people who'd laugh when it was funny along with me (it was us and one older couple there in toto; it was the late show in a place where the sidewalks start rolling up at 9:00 PM, what do you expect?), but it was still wonderful. I'm in lust with both Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp, but I suppose that's to be expected. It was a real shock to see Depp playing my friend Sade on the big screen, though. I mean, even the movements. Even the hand gestures. All the absolutely frickin' same. Amazing.
So now I'm moving on to my next project, but now at least all the backlog from this summer is over with. I feel like a period of my life is finally done, and I find myself wanting to now change everything... go back to the gym (not that there's one within 45 miles), go back on my diet (not that I can regularly afford groceries) or buy a car (don't even think about that last one... sigh). So lots of impetus for change and lots of frustration all at the same time. I will be so damn glad when this section of my life is done with. Argh.
I am determined of one thing, though. I have a firm goal now of losing at least a couple of sizes before con season rolls around again. I don't know entirely how I'm going to make it work yet, but I am going to make it work. For one, I might be single, and that could be entertaining to at least have the potential of flirting. For two, I desperately need to make a tangible change in my life right now. If I can't change where I'm living or anything dealing with my husband, at least I could change that. It's not much but it's something.
