Things Are Falling Into Place (Literally!)

I didn’t realize how long it had been since I last ventured to add my thoughts to the ether. There have been trials and there have been joys–so, take your pick.

Life Moves On

I went back to work in January after what seemed like an interminable round of interviews with virtually no response. I like my job and seem to be pleasing my boss and the others with whom I work. It is rarely dull and there are many interesting personalities with which to interact. This part of my life is moving on and it is good.

“Being John Malkovich”

Today’s blogging really doesn’t have anything to do with that extremely bizarre movie. It has to do with the fact that I spend too much time living in my head (and when I think about that I am reminded of the movie–go figure). This (living in my head) can be very disconcerting and annoying–especially for the terribly practical person with whom I have been sharing my life for the last 35 years.

A Day to be Thankful

Today is/was Thanksgiving for those of us in the USofA. It is a day set apart for remembering to be grateful for what we have so that tomorrow, bright and early, we can participate in the frenzy of purchasing those things we do not have and probably do not need. Just a little cynicism here. But that’s not really what I wanted to say.

Nothing Is Ever Easy

I was actually doing some housework today–vacuuming, laundry, etc. I was doing fine, except that I was really pissed to discover that there were only $45 left in the checkbook and it’s only the 10th of the month, when I leaned over to pick up a towel I intended to fold and my hips went C-R-U-N-C-H. Now, this is not the first time this has happened, but it has not happened for a long time and I was totally unprepared for the pain and inability to move.

Life Gets Complicated

Life got complicated today when our oldest son called to say that he and his wife have separated. It came as a complete shock to him and he is, of course, devastated. I wish he were not so far away. All I can do right now is cry with him on the phone and pray that things will work out for the best.
