a non-locked post

random me

Well, I've been doing some locked posting other than the lyric of the day, but I know there are people who aren't on vox that read my blog and have been wondering what's up.  Therefore, a year in review - especially since today was a major significant day in my family last year.

So:

• This time last year I was in Philadelphia waiting for my aunt to have her kidney removed because she had kidney cancer.
  She's now doing very well - better than she has in years.
• Around the time of my grandmother's 90th birthday, things came to a head with my not-soon-enough ex and we decided to divorce.
  I'm still in that process and am tired of it.  I just want it over.
  
• I started living life the way I want to, on my terms, as who I am. 
  This is the healthiest and happiest I've been in years.  I have good friends and have really found what's important to me. 
• Work is work.  I'm always looking for something else, but in the current climate of FL libraries, I'm hesitant to change jobs.
  I like what I do and most of the time where I do it.  Right now, I have the hat trick of stress:  divorce, selling a house and people close to me dying.  I don't need to add a 4th stressor.

This is not about love
Cuz I am not in love
In fact, I can't stop
falling
out...
I miss this stupid ache.
