It has been a little over three years since the bombing run and almost two years since the divorce became final.

Saturday last I attended a niece’s birthday party. She is the youngest niece and for a time was a daughter. We’ve always been close. My kids were there and I played with my Grand Daughter for a little while. DIL left early. SIL2 was making Tacos and the smell of the ground beef cooking was making DIL nauseated.

X also attended. X decided to leave early too. I stayed for a couple of more hours while we played cards and socialized.

SIL2 invited me along on a camping trip into the Smoky Mountains in early June to view synchronous fireflies. I had to decline as I already have plans for the end of May and a longer trip at the end of June. My boss is not happy with my two week continuous June vacation request and I doubt another week in June would be approved.

I’m a little embarrassed posting that the biggest drama in my life is about time off work.
