Okay, okay. Hello, my dear ol’ friends. I lurk on here every once in a while, do a bit of “vanity searching” for my name, read a bit, and then disappear, all without logging in. As much as I enjoy the camaraderie, the empathy, the helping of others and the getting help for myself, I just needed, and still need, a break from the board.
Quick answers to questions: No, things are not better. No, things are not worse. Things just are. I had one of those “dark nights of the soul” last night, prompted by my W’s absence (she’s out of town w/DD5 at her sister’s; just a short vacation), and some surprising attention I received from a distant co-worker (e.g. major flirting). It just broke loose some of those urges I’ve buried so deep, and made me realize how nucking futs it is that I’m married to such a hyper-critical prude. If she were a product, I’d win my case for “false advertising.” Hey, let’s get real – I’d win my defective equipment suit, too. Yeah, I still seem to have a shred of my sense of humor left.
I wish all of you a better 2007 than 2006, and a better tomorrow than today.
