Ja ne... I can't belive it's been so long since I posted. I guess I was waiting to have some kind of good news to tell. I really dislike sending out emails and posting to journals just to say that life is still hard, the house is still a mess, I still haven't resumed homeschool or painting, going back to work still sucks rocks, and it's 115 degrees outside. It's even too hot to swim.
I guess the one piece of good news is pretty big, if rather personal: I talked to my dad for an hour or so. My parents got divorced last year, and my father dropped off the face of the Earth. He made some gigantic lifestyle changes (which is a large part of what caused the divorce), and I guess he thought that his children didn't want anything to do with him, or that if my mother knew where he was and what he was doing, it would be traumatic for her. I emailed him regularly, and he'd email back pretty regularly, but his address, location, and phone number have been Top Secret. And then Sunday morning, his companion Pat called me up and said that she thought this secrecy was unhealthy, and then she handed my dad the phone. :D I bought tickets to fly out and visit him and meet her in September.
