I’m fine. I really am. And, I didn’t really feel like I would be. BUT, being single is empowering. I love it. I am remembering who I am, who I was, and I am so sad that I changed.

So, I’ve been in this aparment for a week now. It’s small, that’s fo sure, but the kitty and I love it. I have cable again – people, not having cable sucks. Even if I wanted to watch the local news before, I couldn’t get reception. I LOVE IT!

Also, I really, really, really have the best friends in the entire world. On my first night here, my ladies – Carrie, Chanel and Elise came over and brought me the most adorable shower curtain, mat, etc. set EVER. Then, I received a package from my BIFF Carrisa containing HOMEMADE oreos, lotion, hot cocoa, and yummy lip balm. I am so blessed.

This is a change for me, it is, but I am feeling strong and empowered. My first grocery shopping trip post-breakup was the best. I bought yummy crackers and cheese knowing that nobody is going to gobble them up before me. I love it.

And, I am going to be okay. I am Rhiannon again, and honestly, I like her.

My perhaps largest pet peeve, which I only really remember one time a year, is those who insist on setting off their fireworks before Fourth of July.

Please, picture it, if you would. I’ve just moved, with my kitty Gelsey, from a 2300 square foot house into a 510 square foot apartment. She’s pissed at that alone. But, now, she’s super pissed, because somewhere near here, people are setting off their fireworks. Now, I expect this kind of behavior from people in Gresham, or perhaps my homeland, Canby. But, people, I live in the NW Hills. I live in a NICE area. This is unacceptable.

Now, back to my vodka drink. Debbie Gibson’s Electric Youth has come on my iPod’s “FUN MIX” and I’m off to unpack the kitchen.

P.S. Photos to follow, but I have the BEST girlfriends in the entire world, they just came over with an ADORABLE new bathroom set for me and also liquor. They know the way to my heart – Polka Dots and Vodka!
