Missing some of my friends here. I look for updates but not everyone sticks around. I feel like I should update, but can’t think of much to add. Coming up on 6 years since H has been back. We really don’t talk about the past much or what happened, no reason to anymore. I recall years ago hoping and wondering if I would ever get to a time when it didn’t occupy so much real estate in my mind, and it seems I have arrived.
It feels strange to even talk about it. Far more things I would like to talk about — Covid, politics, social inequities, our schools, college planning for kids — but this is not the place. Work is still busy — I’m generally over worked, patients are sick & dying patients. It’s what we allowed to happen, so sadly no surprise there. ... Had both vaccine doses, so I’m incredibly grateful for that! All things considered my kids are doing well. Very fortunate for that. Still distance learning only where I am. But I understand the reasoning and our teachers have a strong union, which they deserve. You see, there I go, not talking about my M. Who would have thunk it 6-7 years ago?!? Lol.
H and I are doing well. Uneventful. We enjoy one another’s company. Love having a nice yard and hot tub. It’s nice to destress after work. I think before Covid, I was still driving kids around too much. They had a lot of activities and I was volunteering more. It’s nice to be present with the family and home for dinner.
In terms my my GAL, this last year has made that harder in some ways, but also easier in important ways. I miss travel and being able to spend time with people. I have made the best friends I could imagine at my age. I also have come to love my alone time and exercising. Who knew? I’m also studying for a test right now for critical care. Trying to keep the body and brain healthy! Ha! Planning some wonderful trips for next summer and fall. I hope it works out. Travel feeds my soul. It also needs to be safe and feel morally right.
Drop in and say hello. Wish I had more to offer. I’m rather boring most days tho and I welcome a drama free life.
Stay healthy everyone! Mask up! Stay safe. Blu
