Two years? It's really been two years since I posted here? So much has changed.
Why have I been absent? Because my life is in a constant state of insanity. Work is intense. Two years ago, I had no idea the kind of stress and pressure I'd walked into here. Now, it's all stress and pressure.
Recently, I have seriously considered moving to England. No, really! To be with BB, you ask, dear Diary? No...not to be with BB. A few months ago, we decided to just be friends again. Yes, we still have love for one another, but we were each spending a lot of time feeling sad and lonely, being apart. I told him that I'd rather he be happy than waiting around for us to be geographically together.
I missed my trip to see him in 2016, having surgery at the exact date and time that I was supposed to be stepping on a plane to Manchester. I surprised him last year, but couldn't stay as long as usual. I guess we weren't meant to be romantically together.
Other things that are new (I'll try to be brief).....
We lost my dad's brother and his wife to injuries sustained in a car accident, last year. That has been rough on the family, to lose both brothers so close together.
I've seen SO MANY historical sites and seriously cool things while living here. I'll revisit some for you :) This is a great area, and a good move for us.
Son has a Real Job. Benefits and all! I feel a little better about his future...if he'd only get a place of his own, now! Time to launch, birdie.
A couple of months ago, a very difficult event happened. Our home burned.
Ten days later.... Daughter got married! Her husband is amazing. They are two sides of the same coin. I couldn't have chosen better for her.
And me? Things are not what I thought they'd be at almost-50.
Right now, my life is...I'm not sure what it is. I have a lot of thoughts. A lot of things to express in a space where my family isn't watching. I have thoughts they wouldn't like. And I have many topics to talk about.
I've missed you, dear Diary. But now I'm back.
