Obama 2012
So this presidential election has ended with the re-election of Pres. Obama. For the 1st time ever I voted a straight party line, rather than splitting my ballot between candidates as I have for every election I have been qualified to vote in. Billions of dollars were spent on this 2012 presidential election. That in itself is a sad story. Of course today we read about who and what is to blame for the republican loss, as well as some of the democratic loses outside of the presidential level. It really is time to move on now.
So today I am rather blah. Not in relation to the election, just sort of a blah day. Usual work projects, administrative duties, same old routine for my job. Just the normal flow of work related tasks for me. Nothing really challenging or exciting in my work world.
Looking forward to this weekend if temperatures indeed reach the lower 60's. Nearing the end of leaf raking/mulching/burning cycle I have every fall. But I think the worst is out of the way. Good thing too as I am tired of being achy. Just not as young as I use to be.
My partner returned late Sunday night from his weekend trip with his friends to Wash. D.C. From what I can tell he had a great time which I am thankful for. Since his Father's death last year, it's just been such a hard time for him, and for me too. I won't ever recover from Mr. Brock's death. He was my best friend and like a father to me. I will always wonder if I had just done something else, anything, would he still be alive today. No answer can ever be determined. It's just so hard for me not to dwell on it. I have talked so much about it that nobody has anything left to say to me. So I have stopped talking about it. There isn't anything, apparently, that anybody can say to me that will ease his terrible sadness whenever I think of him.
I have ended my "associations" with all of my "friends with benefits" friendships. There were only 3 of them anyway. 1 of them is really nice but is moving far away from here. The other two I just didn't want to continue with. 1 of those 2 ended rather harshly. The remaining one I just quietly blocked with my cell phone provider, both texts and calls. The email account I had for those 3 guys is now deleted. I actually feel very good about ending those friendships. All three guys were very nice. I just didn't feel like I wanted to continue with the way things were, so I didn't.
Just say'in...
