Journaling: This will ramble on some and be incredibly mundane.

28 years ago I sat in my living room glued to CNN. I was newly discharged, married for a little more than a year with a 6 month old daughter. STBX asked I stay home committed to the relationship. I have.

Now there is no relationship to remain committed to. The past is the past, I must move forward.

Saturday I lit a candle and spent some time reflecting.

I completed some of the get ready for winter/fall projects at my and mom’s house. There is still another section of snow fence to put up. I am hopeful this will lessen the amount of shoveling and the number of times I ask the neighbor to plow the driveways.

Archery leagues should be starting soon I am looking forward to that and another visit with my cousin in Kentucky this time. When the snows get deep enough there will be CC skiing again. The inside of the house needs to be painted. I have ask our daughter to help me choose the color palate after she teased me I would turn it into a celebration of beige.

Next spring I need to build a storage shed/garage and put a deck off of the dining room. I am looking into fulfilling an old path not taken, at a jump school in southern Ohio. Our daughter has stated a desire to do a tandem jump at the same time for the experience.

If I can save my nickels and dimes, lots of nickels and dimes, this time next year I’ll be shopping for a touring bike. Presently I am considering used Road King Classics. I want a bagger with windscreens.

This sitch has been quiet since October 15th when she moved the last of her household items. She left the picture albums and boxes of loose pictures to go through later. It was obvious she was getting upset when she began to look through them and it remains to be seen if she will put herself through that exercise again. Frankly I do not think she will, but time will tell its story.
