I turned 49 on October 25th and became a grandfather for the first time on November 6th. S30 and his girlfriend have a brand new baby boy. I have not seen the baby yet because S30's GF has sort of pushed S30 away from everyone. XW hasn't seen the baby yet either.
I've been struggling with something lately...I'm feeling OLD. It's like I woke up one day and became old overnight. I feel like the best or my prime is behind me. I think I'm just missing my youth. I've spent the majority of my 40's dealing with XW/divorce/rebuilding my life and it just seem like everything/everyone has passed me by.
I still love my job and am happy with it. I'll be getting another promotion next month and will be "certified" as a Tech 3 Broadcast Technician. It comes with a nice raise. I could use it, but it still won't be quite enough. But....I AM making ends meet.
My lady friend at work has invited me over to her place the past 3 Wednesdays after work for a drink. (Wednesday is our Friday.) We've had some great conversations...but we are still just friends for now. I do enjoy her company.
Anyways, just wanted to give an update....
