Uugg, its been a while and it is no one fault but my own. I just get so tired of typing all day that i don’t bother writing anything unless I have something really interesting going on, which i don’t (so if tat is what you are expecting move on.)
Work has gotten much better. I went through a rough patch where for whatever reason, but it has passed and I am liking my job again. Not saying I don’t have wonderful fantasies about winning a megamillions lottery on many occasions, but I am content. I am getting a lot more responsibility which I need to learn to handle. I am getting things done, but a lay wake and stare at the ceiling a lot worrying about what could go wrong. I called the court 5 times to ask a simple question because I was so freaked out over little things. This week we got all caught up though and will be able to huncker down into big projects and trial prep for July.
we have also moved into out new house. It is so wonderful, even if I do have to mow grass twice a week. It is such a pretty 1920's house with these gorgeous hardwood floors and old time paneling. All the other residents never triad to make the house look more modern, but have done a great job updating what needed to be done. I will try to take some pictures and post them up soon.
I just guess I love life right now. I have been really focused on trying to remind myself of all the good in life and i think my life is pretty good. My brother is having a hard time right now. His fiancé left him a few weeks ago and he was hit hard. I think it is for the best in the long run, but he is seriously depressed. He has seen that his family is there for him, something he admitted he didn’t think would happen. He has also admitted he has a drinking problem when he is upset or stressed, which is all the time with his financial problems, so that has been something of a trial as well. He just needs to sell his house (he has it on the market) and get into something he can afford, at least then he wont have both money and love problems. The fiance has been such a bitch about the whole thing. She cleaned out their joint bank account and took a bunch of stuff they bought together, all in the name of “fairness” (“we bought the tv with the joint money and because your keeping it i get the account” never mind that Michael didn’t want the tv. She is also keeping the ring and all the other nice jewelry Mike gave her and sending him horrid e-mails telling him how this is all his fault.) She is lucky she hasn’t been around, I have never seen my mother so angry at anyone. I don’t mind her breaking up with Michael, but she could at least be adult and civil about it.
Folks are doing well, although my grandmother is getting ready to need more help then she can gt living by herself. My mom is torn. She says she knows she should be glad they can help and that they have room for her, but she is a little bitter because she is just getting to the point where she is having fun with her life. I have been trying to help her understand that she can feel both and it doesn’t make her a bad person, just a normal one. Change is scary for anyone. So that will be an issue in the future, but we will all help out so mom isn’t totally overwhelmed.
So that is my life right now, work and family and my friends when I can. Told you it wasn’t exciting. I just don’t have the energy for deep entries right now. I still have the thoughts and in person talks, but writing just isn’t getting done. Perhaps I need to just force myself to write even a short entry periodically. Give me suggestions about what I can write about!
