Better Day

Yesterday was a good day. The first one since Raquel and I broke up. Had a little down spot right before work. Once I got into work, my buddy did his best to cheer me up the whole day. After that, I walked outside to a beautiful day and instantly felt better. Once I got home, I wanted to be productive around the house, working on things I've let go because of school. Luckily, one of my professors gave me an extension on a final project I missed so I had to work on that instead. I am grateful he did that because I need to pass that class to move forward in my department. For dinner, some friends took me out to Texas Roadhouse. It was a good meal with good friends. They even tried to hook me up with the waitress. A nice gesture, but a bit early. After dinner, I went to see Thor with my family and other friends. It was a good movie. I never read the comic as a kid, so I don't know how true it was to that. Yes, I know, I'm a nerd. Got home around 11:30. We started watching another movie which I quickly fell asleep to.

I woke up around 4am and shuffled my way down to bed. I was woken up by dad asking if I wanted to go to a family friend's funeral. I decided not to so I could get some much needed sleep. I wish he hadn't. I was still exhausted and, once he left, I realized that Raquel wasn't next to me. I realized that she would never wake up next to me again. Not on a Saturday afternoon (when we usually woke up). Not on a Sunday morning to go to church together. Never on those rare weekday mornings where I woke up at 5:30am, kissed her goodbye, and went to work. I wished I had someone to sleep with. It would make it so much easier I bet. In time, God will provide me with a woman that I will love and cherish just as much as I do Raquel. With any luck, it will be her again (here's hoping ;-)). That would make the dating phase so much easier and I wouldn't have to get to know someone all over again.

Today I am working on my project more. It's coming along nicely. I'm quite proud of it. Tonight I am going to a friend's to hang out and play some video games. Something I haven't done since school started. I am looking forward to it. I am doing everything I can to move forward and not dwell on the pain. I know God will take care of me. I know He will heal us so that we can still be friends. I know He will bring a wonderful woman into my life again whoever she may be. All I have to do is trust in Him and take care of myself. I pray every day for healing for the both of us and that I will have a relationship once again. Preferably soon to help with the loneliness. Raquel said she'd help me find another woman which I greatly appreciate. She knows exactly what I'm looking for in a woman. Most of those things I had found in her. So it'll be easy to find someone like herself :-). Now I have to go work on my project so I can pass this class. I pray you all have a good day.
