This past year has been... Interesting. To say the least. Being unemployed is not the hardship for me, that it is for some, I live simply and U.I. covers me pretty well, it's just the lack of savings that sets me on edge. I tried to get into the field I wanted for years, but was too complacent to try for, and when I got no nibbles, I decided to try for my second choice, because I have more of a chance of getting into it. And this is where things started tipping.
I started getting things like requests for meetings with college people, #1's graduation gown, plans for graduation dinners, and celebrations, and ceremonies, and it finally hit me that this is it. My first born is going to be viewed as a man in the eyes of the rest of the world. Why does he still look like a 10 year old to me?
My cat, the only one in the house that will let me baby her, *HAD* to go and get her breathing checked out, and we still don't know what is wrong... And pick her up from the vet, only to get the news that my father died.
Don't Panic.
My dad and I weren't very close. Don't get me wrong, he's my daddy, and I love him. But we did much better living several hundred miles apart than we did living in the same house. We had the same temperament, and opposite views on almost everything.
It was the little things... Only one month from now, he could've seen his first grandchild graduate from High School, and get good pictures, (unlike the ones of mine, where I hid, or stuck my tongue out), I never finished scanning those pics for him, instead, doing things that had "due by" dates, never realizing there might be a "due by" date on sending out those pictures...
But, I promised pictures last time....

So what's new with you? And as usual,
Thanks for Noticing me!
