It's 12:18 AM here. I was brought out from my sleep about an hour ago by the sound of many incoming texts. It was my girlfriend. She broke things off with me. As I was coming to terms with this, I realized the AV wanted me to go to the bar. I made some chamomile tea instead. Now I'm just waiting to fall back asleep as I have a long workday ahead of me. That's all, really. Just wanted to get the words out. Have a good night, folks.

Hey Scrappy,

Ugh. Sorry to hear that you received the news via middle night texts. Good idea to have tea. Hang in there. Sweet dreams.

Sorry about the breakup Scrappy - good choice ignoring the AV & being kind to yourself with a cup of tea...You'll be thankful in the morning

Sorry about the breakup but you were wise to go with tea instead of booze. Getting drunk won't help anything.

Sorry Scrappy. You made the right decision there.

Good morning Scrappy,

Scrappy, great job on not caving in. Sorry about the breakup, but at midnight via text? You're better than that.

Thanks for the kind words of support and encouragement, everyone. They hit me square in the feels. I worked a long shift today (10 AM-11 PM), so I didn't have much time to sit with my feelings, which might be okay for now. Also haven't responded to the now-ex, mostly because I don't know what to say yet. Also haven't caved to the AV. I'll have a little more time to acknowledge any pain tomorrow, but I don't feel crushed or devastated. Just bummed. And disappointed. I anticipate other emotions as the days progress. Again, thanks for all of the support. It's been very uplifting.
