Been crazy as fuck in the last few years since I've posted.
The bad:
Lost a parent last year. Now both my folks are gone.
Lost first kitty Clara-Jane for the second time (the first was after my ex and i split) to what was effectively a stroke in the fall of 21.
Had to rehome my sweet little Amelia...she just didn't get along with my other two kitties Rose and Freema. (Tried everything for almost two years)
Had my heart broken by a (then) dear friend who had helped to heal it, and then made things far worse by shattering it into bits.
Lost a few jobs along the way too.
The good:
I've finally moved out of my apartment of 18 years and bought a small place in my home state of Indiana. Should have moved years ago...just too many memories in the walls of that apartment.
Seem to be in a better place mentally.
The job situation is still stressful at times, but overall is far better than it was.
Now...if only this old man could find someone to share this better life with.
