Went to China last week for work. Much better place than I expected and very interesting. I would definitely go back to see more of the country. In the last year and a half I have been to Hawaii, London, Ireland, China and a bunch of US cities with still some to go for 2018... talk about some GAL! Hope to keep this traveling up! Hope 2019 can measure up.
I had my annual labor day party yesterday. XW and I started this and I kept it going after the split. Always a good time!
They moved my dad to a nursing home now. He is in terrible, terrible shape. Right when I got there yesterday he fell and smashed his head on the ground. He is never going to be the same and that makes me sad and stressed. I would take divorce 1000x over this. I was thinking yesterday about how I feel like my next relationship will be really special and my parents will never know. My mom passed away about a year and half ago. That's sad because if I am into someone enough to want to introduce them to my parents, I would be really excited to do it. And they would have been excited to met her as well. XW was the only SO of mine they had ever met.
