I am officially functioning with no real walls in the basement, an empty upstairs bathroom...not even a floor and have managed the dust that has taken over my life. So today is mine to spend how ever I choose. This weekend is Pride and today marks an anniversary. Well, not sure if it's really an anniversary as much as just a memory. I have been going to Pride for years to celebrate, participate and drink beer! But a couple of years ago I went as a couple and it was fun, exciting and hopeful.
I said a couple of weeks ago that I am trying to take a step forward...and I really am trying. I want to go with my friends and laugh, participate and drink beer. But I am also afraid that it will bring up more hurt and I don't want to invite more emotions. Pride is a big deal in Denver and draws a large crowd. So there will be a lot of people to watch, interesting people to meet and a line around the port-a-potty that can push even a sane person over the edge.
I'm not sure if I am going to participate this year, but I will absolute support the cause however else I can.

Thanks everybody! I went and had a good time. It turned out to be fun.
I am glad you decided to go! I was going to suggest you did :)
I've never been to one of those, but from photos from another blog they look like fun events. Just go to have some fun!
Can I go with you next time? :)
As a new reader here I'm wondering about a few things: What is Pride? What occasion is marked as an anniversary/memory? If it's too hard to talk about I understand . . . just curious and want to know you better.
I'm glad you decided to go and that you had fun.
Go! Sally (or Bob for that matter) forth and enjoy yourself and the people watching and the fun and frivolity that is sure to ensue. :)
Oh shoot.. I just wrote that and now I see that you went.. hee..hee..
GO, HAVE FUN, ENJOY YOUR FRIENDS...you really should, you are YOU with or without a partner and YOU deserve to have a good time!!!
GO.
oh crap...just read your comments you DID GO...good, good good!!!
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have a great weekend. Happy Pride.
I'm glad you went- I think it's always best to power through this stuff so it doesn't seem so "big" anymore.
Happy belated pride, and good for you for going!
