and five days, yeeepeeee :-)
I am still wondering about how I got there in one piece ;-)
So, how are things going for me?
On the family front, there is not much change.
My father is back home, prefers in house revalidation instead of being treated as an out patient at the local hospital, and my mother seems to enter a depressive phase. There isn't much joy there, but everyone has to adapt to the new situation, and, all things being considered, my father seems to be coping quite well. He is reading, taking a keen interest in his recreative activities and even though his physical condition doesn't seem to be improving, he seems to be morally much more solid than he once was.
My brother seems to be going fine, but I won't be seeing him nor his family for a few years. Not until my two nieces are a little bit older and easier to travel with.
On the housing front, my place in the city is a cratered mess. And my place by the sea will soon become less practical with road works preventing access to my garage starting on Monday. I'll have to take some tough decisions here. I am currently envisioning geting a bike and a train pass for the next few months.
About work, well, things are no longer so grim as they once were. The new project manager is doing a good job, and is proving to be a very effective umbrella.
I haven't seen my best friends for a few weeks now: commuting is taking quite a toll on my time, and getting by with four hours of sleep during the week is getting tiresome.
About dating, well, I haven't been that lucky since the beginning of the year: it seems that the curse I am under is blanketing my whole life...
Out of my last four first dates, here is what I have fished:
- "I am not really divorced." Huhuhhhhh...
- "I am not exactly of legal age." Riiiight...
- "Sorry, I haven't found a dog sitter." And the damned beast kept her nose to my crotch for almost the whole date. And it had this wonderful wet and strong wet dog smell too...
- "My husband and I are a very open minded couple, would you like to meet him too?" Nooooo...
The only good thing in this whole mess is, as usual, Miss I. It seems that we are indeed in speaking terms, and I cannot help but feel deeply for her, as usual. We both have our issues, aren't leading a balanced life to say the least, but at least we can talk and share something.
