Homeowners at last!
Jan. 31st, 2005 10:59 pmThe closing went great today. Sign lots of papers, get handed a check for $198.64, and it was all over! Then Dad and I went over to the new house to change the locks and get the utilities turned on.
Rachel is still having trouble grieving. She alternates between feeling numb and breaking down crying every time something reminds her of Mike. However, I'm doing everything I can for her, and she knows it and has said how great I'm being to her. Unfortunately, it doesn't help her feel better, and it doesn't help me feel better either. But we're taking it slow -- Rachel's never really had to deal with anything like this before, she's never really dealt with death all that much. Unfortunately for me, death is all too familiar.
Rachel's a bit nervous to sleep tonight. Apparently she dreamt about Mike last night and is scared she will again.
We hit the video store up tonight -- Rachel wanted to see 12 monkeys, and I happened to spot something that jumped off the shelves at me -- "Gypsy 83" which apparently was released in 2001. But it looks like it just hit the new release shelf at Hollywood. It's got Sara Rue of "Less than Perfect" on a Goth Road Trip to New York; sounds kinda like a To Wong Foo or Priscilla, Queen of the Desert with a Goth spin; According to IMDB.com, Sara also goes topless, which hey, neither Rachel nor I will be complaining about.. In fact, the picture of Sara on the cover in a very tight corset was part of what jumped out at me! Unfortunately, Rachel's not in a frame of mind to appreciate topless plus-sized gothic goodness at the moment. :/
It's been a long, strange trip.. and an even longer, stranger, stressful weekend.
