Well, to say that it’s been a long time since I posted something is akin to proclaiming water is wet. It’s not because I’ve not had anything worth posting. Quite the contrary actually; lots of stuff has been going on and I really needed to focus on getting things back on track. You’d think I would be used to things coming up by now and throwing a wrench into my machine. But in getting back into the therapeutic benefits of blogging, I will try to get into the habit of doing this on a regular basis. Now… Where to start?

Last week, my mother called me to tell me my Grandfather had been hospitalized. Two days later, she called to say he had passed away… So, off to sophisticated rural West Virginia.

And done right…
I finished the repairs on the bathroom last weekend and, I must admit, it turned out really nicely; not the professional (tiled or custom fiberglass enclosure) job I had intended, but it’s more than functional and properly done.

Is it just me or does it seem like whenever you get in your car, that EVERYONE is trying their best to kill you? Holy moly! I almost feel obligated to kiss ground in thanks when I get to my destination without incident.

Just when I think everything is finally going right, something ELSE comes up. What do I have to do to catch a break? Sacrifice an animal? Cut out one of my internal organs? Go on a Spirit Quest?

It’s another. Sheesh. After months of delays, setbacks, stress, and other unexpected events, even my efforts to refinance my house hasn’t escaped Lady (Bad) Luck…

So, we had the divorce hearing this morning. I was nervous as hell. Was the Magistrate going to laugh at my petition? Was he going to say “This all looks well and good but you have to pay $X alimony as well”? Was he going to tell us that he wasn’t going to accept the Mediated agreement? So many questions…
