Sleepy Bliss

     So it's been almost a month since my last blog entry.   I decided to transfer it (my first, most recent, and last...) to Blogger.  My options here seem greater and more easily accessible.  We shall see.  For now, this is my new blog home.

     It's Friday morning and my first class isn't until 11am.  I've prepared in advance, so I chose to turn on Pandora to my "The Cardigans" channel.  It's all through my tv now and the sound is pretty good.  I've had plenty of sleepy dozing betwixt The Cardigans, Smashing Pumpkins, Six Pence None the Richer, The Cure,  and The Sundays whilst under a giant duvet.  A giant cup of coffee now, and little blogging have made for a wonderful morning so far.

     The response to my last entry was done on my FB wall.  I had to erase much of it, for the comments were profanity ladened, bursting with ignorance, and given by two highly uninformed cousins of a dead paternal uncle who lived his life in a series of highly altered states.  Sadly, his daughter had followed in his footsteps for many years and is now very bitter that she has little to show for a hard lived life.  What's interesting is that she is very protective of my Aunt (see last entry) and my father (who passed in 2007).  She, fueled by mentioned Aunt's willfully ignorant venom, is convinced that I abandoned my father and brother to go to college in another state.  They refuse to believe that I left a physically and emotionally abusive situation at 17 to pursue other options. These options included, safety, an education, opportunities, and belonging.  Had it not been for this decision to leave and improve my life, I would not be able to provide for my brother now.  Although in care, he still has many needs.  Not one of these "family" members will visit, write, nor call him.  Simply stated, they are miserable people who don't have much going on and their hatred of me merely gives them a twisted sense of purpose.  I have chosen to cut contact and to continue my happy life...uninterrupted.  My brother will continue to be a major part of my life.  His little brother will drive, and shop, and clean, and spoil, and protect, and love him with all of his heart.  His life will be filled with love and belonging.  Now that I have found it within myself, I am able to share it freely.

     Now, that's ALL I have to say about XMUS in TEXUS!
