That PING means your LJ is still alive!
Well hellooooo everyone. Or just one? Who knows.
It's been a year since my last entry and I I thought perhaps a update would be nice. 2017 ended with me and a friend going to a local bar/restaurant for a lovely evening. 2019 was a whirlwind of activity. I accepted a faculty position at a University, went to California and Denver (I actually interviewed in Denver but didn't opt to go live there). I went on the JoCo cruise, then went to Europe where I visited spursgirl79 in the UK and various friends in Berlin and Cologne. I did a LOT of socializing in NYC and basically soaked up the warmth and friendship, having a good time and reclaiming the good vibes that were whisked away in the strain of recent times.
I am now living in Connecticut! I learned to drive! I have a car! I'm on a tenure track in a small social work department at a small University that seems to be my speed. I miss all the socializing and friendships in NYC, but I have a huuuuuge beautiful flat and the kitties now have a hallway to run back and forth while I try to sleep.
I still miss T-Rex terribly, but I am not infrequently reminded of his presence. He still seems to be able to find ways to get my needs met.
For all these things I am thankful. I send wishes to whomever winds up reading this, for all good things in 2019.
