Update? Downdate? What's the date?
Haven't written on/in this blog forever.
Things have changed dramatically in my life since my last post. My father died -- I think I've mentioned that... And I've gotten better. I think I must have been "hooked" into his illness. When his kidneys started failing -- mine tried to shut down. Since he passed on, mine have gotten better -- or at least, I feel better -- and that's good enough for me. Need the bloodwork to "prove" it, of course (at least, to my doctor), but how I *feel* is awesome.
Being creative again; made a quilted altar cloth as an initiation gift for a friend, and now I'm excited about making things again. I just wish my house would clean itself. I live with my son and his fiancee -- and there are days when I just want to scream. Their idea of art deco is "eau de floor" -- though i don't think it's so much intentional as it is just not having enough "spoons" to pick up. Since I feel the same way (lack of spoons), I can't exactly be too critical, but there are days when I just want to scream. I get tired of doing dishes, cleaning the bathroom, etc. -- and have it "undo" itself right behind me. I thought having your kids be grown-ups now meant you didn't have to do that so much? Oh, well...
Anyway, just wanted to update and say -- hey, not everything is awful! I actually feel pretty damn good. May even start writing again! Who knows?
