Where the hell have I been?
Wow I havent updated on this in a long time. I guess things have been pretty awesome so I haven't had much to gripe about. I know that's horrible that I shouldnt post only to vent.
I'm at a point now I didn't realize I'd get to. I'm finally pretty confident at work. I used to have these meltdowns every once in a while because of a stressful day. Now when they happen it's not so frequent and not so severe. Even when it's busy.. I can manage.
A big thing in my life lately was the passing of my 97 year old great grandmother in kentucky. Long story but the family is feuding because apparently they always have.. over inheritance, last wishes, and hatred for each other. It's a very sad thing to see. It was more important to me because as you saw in my last post several months ago I came out to my dad. I haven't seen him in person since then.
First of all, it's a shock to see how much my dad has come around. He's been very supportive of me. 20 years ago.. he would have mocked who he is now. i guess everyone grows and I couldnt be happier. My dad told the immediate family I'd be around that weekend, to save me embarrasing dinner conversation 'so.. you still dont have a girlfriend??' type stuff. They were all really cool about it, but it rarely came up and their funeral drama pushed out all other conversation.
So to escape the drama me and my sister Bonnie decided to split a hotel room on the other side of town. It ended up being a blast.. watching tv.. being funny.. cracking on how crazy the weekend was. When you hear a family member talking about pushing their sibling down the stairs of the funeral home.. wow. The eye opener was that the last night visiting with my dad he was so comfortable talking to me about stuff going on.. cracking on my racist homophic great uncle he used to be so tight with.. now an uber-christian forced to deal with his own gay son with a black boyfriend :) and this is my dad laughing at this in disbelief. My how people change.
So all's good. I got a new 55" hdtv and blu ray player in january.. been buying up movies like a packrat and spending too much time indoors, but enjoying it. But i do need to get out more. seems like everyone disappears off the radar when you stop going out on saturday nights I dunno. Hopefully the warm weather soon will change that back around again and we can get out more.
Have a good week everyone!
