Well the restless bug is back. We want to move, to run
away. It's probably to do with the time of year, the beginning of
the bad season, that worry builds and we just want to get away. Plus
for us, we just like to move alot. But this place is so good, its
small yes, but its cheap and we can live alone. So we don't want
to move, to find somewhere new. So to get over that need to move
we start shifting stuff around the house. Not an easy task when you
don't have a hell of a lot of room. But we have shifted the whole
bed area around. Hopefully that will calm that "lets shift" need.
I personally like this new setup. We tried it once before but there
was a draft from under the window. We are hoping with the pull down
blind and the curtains that this time it won't give us that creak in the
neck. And shifting has Celi all worked up, she needs to clean, is
getting rather antsy about it all. So she will probably be out all
week giving the house a spring clean. Ok the house needs it but I
don't know if I want to spend all that time at it. Oh well, I suppose
I can't complain, I get enough time to do what I want.
Am trying to educate my neighbour about what it means to be multiple.
She comes over a lot lately and hiding it, pretending to be one, in my
own house is annoying. So maybe if we can give her enough information
she will understand it and in turn we will feel a little more comfortable.
I think someone wrote yesterday that it is hard losing those friends that
readily accepted and understood it. I know I miss that, someone that
recognises me, treats me as someone separate, not Kat, not Shire, but me.
I was one of the people that would go back, because there was the place
to be me fully. I wish I could go back again. But I understand
why we can't and anyway, Melanie would kick my arse if I did. It
just sucks you know, having to pretend, having to deal with everyone as
if I am someone else. We have all been wondering why this has become
such an issue lately. I think it's just time, others say it's because
we are really lonely right now and that is reminding us of how even with
people we feel on our own, outside of the others. Then there's that
whole issue of the people that know us not putting any effort into seeing
us as individuals. They don't they just seem to want us to be the
image of Shire that they know, and that differs depending on the person
we are with. Maybe our neighbour will deal with it. I don't
know. Its funny but there have been a few conversations with other
multiples recently that have made us wonder if we are crazy for thinking
people should understand that we are all different people. They seem
to think each is totally connected and the same. But as E says, maybe
that's because we have done too much work in only showing that. Well
that's changing and if others can't deal with it, then we will start losing
contact with them again.
