I'm so glad I thought of this, of keeping a blog journal. I regret terribly that I never kept a journal of my days with my children as they were growing up. How I would love to reread those now. I've forgotten so much, and I'm sure I would gain some insight into the adults they are now becoming.
Whatever, no need to waste energy on regrets. However, now I will not make that mistake. This is a huge journey we're undertaking, and I want to record it. But I've always been afraid of journals. I want to say whatever I feel, but what if it's mean, and someone reads it? what if it's embarassing? this way, I can say anything, and the chances of anyone reading it are remote. If, for some insane reason, people do read it, they won't know it's me! No one will be hurt, and I won't be embarassed. Win-win.
Midway into our second year of empty nest-dom, well into the enjoyment phase, smack dab in the midst of loving those peaceful evenings spent doing whatever the hell we wanted, we now have a roommate.
Let me say, it's not funny the way this all came about. UL died very unexpectedly. We all loved him dearly. I have to say, he was my favorite in this new family of mine. Never failed to make me laugh. I always looked forward to seeing him. AH, on the other hand, while very sweet and loving, has her other sides. She complains a lot, and gossips a lot. I always worry that I will end up on her gossip go-to list.
Well, AH can't live on her own, so she now lives with us. We are 2 weeks into this new life. More to come.
