Man Overboard!

"He calls desparingly, gazing in anguish after the receding sail as, ghostlike, fades from view. A short time ago he was on board, a member of the crew busy on deck with the rest, a living being with his share of air and sunlight. What has become of him now? He slipped and fell, and this is the end."

Victor Hugo - Les Miserables


Don't worry, I'm not jumping off any ships. I use that paragraph, not for telling you all that I'm a man overboard but, actually quite the opposite. I feel like I've been saved by my family and friends. This situation could have broken me but instead it's made me remember what kind of person I am. It's really easy to tell what kind of person you are when you take a look at your family and friends. I've been overwhelmed with all of the support I've received. People are coming out of the woodworks for me and it's a great feeling. For this, I'm truly grateful.

In other news, Allie has returned from her vacation and is back at the apartment for the next week. She will be out of the apartment by the end of the month. Things are strange, of course, but I will try my best to be amicable. After that, I don't know what will become of her. I'm trying not to concern myself, though it's really, really hard. She's not telling and I'm not asking.

At this point, I'm going to make an honest attempt to keep her name out of my mouth, for better or worse in an attempt to keep myself from slipping and falling.
