Hot damn, I can’t believe it’s been almost 7 years since I was active here.
A lot has happened in that time.
I’ve lost two dogs (and gained two new ones)
I’ve lost one cat (the other three are still around)
I gained and lost a bunny.
Spouse was diagnosed with breast cancer & after a double mastectomy is fine now. She’s probably healthier now than ever. She’s become an obsessive runner, and cut out a lot of unhealthy habits.
She’s currently working on a bad-ass chest piece to cover the scars.
She didn’t do reconstruction.
I’m cool with all of her choices.
Spawn graduated high school. She did a year and a half of college, but decided it wasn’t for her.
She moved to Brooklyn & is looking for what WILL be for her.
I’m cool with all of her choices.
I half-heartedly “ran,” for public office.
Honestly, I more leisurely strolled.
I didn’t win. I’m cool with that too.
It’s hard to win an election when one of your campaign points is that you don’t really want the job - - because it’s a terrible, horrible, soul-sucking job - - but one that needs to be done better.
Otherwise, I’ve just been doing what I do.
I divorce people.
I drink beer, cook food, play games, and enjoy live music.
I roll with the punches.
