Please check it out. That's all I have for you today. It is a crazy busy day.

Greetings!
My name is Amanda... but you can call me Mermanda if you want to. I nest in Pittsburgh with my merman Andrew and Luke, our rescued retired racing greyhound. I'm a full-time publicist and part-time freelance writer (hire me!) with a serious addiction to sushi, live music, ginger snaps, and blawgs, of course.
What else do you need to know? I'm a surprisingly excellent thumb wrestler and I make the best grilled cheese sandwiches around. Yep, that should cover it.

Great post dear. You're awfully strong for bringing all that back to the surface again.
when I was working the "monkey shit" job at pitt, I was often in a state of total bewilderment. I was working a terrible job and being dumped at the same time. it wasn't fun.
one day I decided to try a little experiment. I though of an ex of mine, someone I had once had incredibly strong feelings for...someone I'd cried many tears over...someone I hadn't spoken to in ten years or so...
I remembered her number, which was surprising, being that I can't usually remember what I've had for lunch. I made my way into an empty room in the labs and found a phone. I called her...
after the usual awkward beginning ("why are you calling me?"), we talked for 10 or 15 minutes on pitt's dime...it was a friendly conversation, but it wasn't earth moving or anything, you know...
I guess I wanted to prove that time does, indeed, heal all wounds. I think, although I don't have a copy here, that the ending of Maggie Cassidy by Kerouac can also throw some light on this all.
good stuff, amanda...
Having gone through something simillar very recently, I can understand a little of how painful the feeling is of losing the person who you have made your soulmate.... Reading how you got through makes me feel better and hopeful that I will get through this too :)
Ben, thank you. It feels good to be in a place where I can recall those days without any pain.
Larry, that's an interesting way of curing boredom! "Hey... remember when you broke my heart?"
BIAB: I'm so glad to hear you could get a little bit of comfort from my story. You will get through!
