Resolutions...
I guess it's been about two months since I posted. Meant to say something sooner, but things have just been moving at a strange pace. Lots to get done, but nothing that can happen quickly, plus a neverending sinus infection and allergies have warped time in very strange ways. This will probably be one of the most boring posts ever, but I've been trying to get myself motivated to say something for ages, so I decided to just type and let whatever poor devil runs across it suffer the consequences. In case anyone's wondering, this is your warning that boredom lies ahead.
Anyway, I want to take a moment to thank all of the people who replied and offered support. I apologize for not thanking y'all sooner, but I've just been moving at a snail's pace. However, please know that your kindness meant a great deal to me...and I shared some things with mom who appreciated them as well. Normally, I would reply to things individually, but I hope folks will understand if don't. I'm just sorta...I dunno...not able yet. It's not so much that I'm in great mourning. Things were expected and my father and I hadn't been close in a long time...but at the same time, dealing with his illness has been so increasingly all-encompassing for the last few years and the last weeks were so bad that...I dunno...guess I'm still processing. Or maybe I'm just still in a daze...feels like my brain pan is filled with fog some days.
Been dealing with a couple of plumbing disasters the last couple of weeks. One here...rotted out broken pip outside the house that is proving annoyingly difficult to fix. Plus a pipe leaked into the kitchen ceiling at dad's and it promptly fell in. Joy. But things are getting straightened out and getting a lot of cleaning done. My office is actually neat and organized again (a minor miracle). I've got most of dad's old books sorted and organized and started selling them. There are so many that I'd hoped to get one of the local used book dealers to come over, but so far, it's box by box. Not much money in it, but it's going into my fun fund, so it's worth the effort. Brandeis book sales will get the left overs.
Haven't been painting, but doing a bit of writing. Not sure how much will see the light of day since a lot of it is the beginning of story ideas that I'm not sure I'll follow through on. However, have some done on Life and Breath, so hoping to get the next part up later today.
So that's about it. Nothing exciting...though frankly, I actually wish it were a bit more boring. Boring sounds really good right now. I'm so over emergency phone calls.
Finally, I hope life is good for all and sundry who read any or all of my babblings. Take care all.
