Labor Day 2011
OK, I am taking Kathi's advise and journaling this weekend. As you guys know, I'm not very good at journaling on a regular basis. I reply to topics which is my journal (sort of).
As of this Labor Day, I am 1 1/2 years post divorce. My divorce was fast (60 days from separation). I have now left Idaho for "greener pastures" in WV. I have started a new job and I have one son and daughter-in-law living in town with me. My other son is still in Idaho and I miss him a lot. He is so busy with his senior activities and I talk to him every night.
I still fall prey to loneliness but I am fortunate to be so busy that those moments are fleeting. I hope that I will find companionship but I don't know if I am putting myself out there much. I try to be friendly and I can usually carry on a conversation with anyone. Strangely enough, I think having a Ph.D. limits me because I'm not sure guys like that much. I know, I know, I can hear you guys (Trish, Kathy) yelling at me for that comment. Sorry, for now I believe it to be true. Maybe a year from now I won't.
Today I had a blast going to the Pirates/Astros game even though my team lost and it rained the whole game. I love MLB and I am sure that won't change. Driving just 2 1/2 hours to a game is heaven!
Well that's about it for this journal. I hope I can look back on it and feel some sense of accomplishment a year from now!
