Explanations And Updates

     First of all, I didn't INTEND to stop posting here-our computer died so that I could only update sporadically.  Later, my daughter's best friend allowed us to borrow her old notebook, but for some reason, this machine wouldn't allow text.  I would be able to post the title, but none of the body of my post would show up.  I did a test though, and now that doesn't seem to be the case.
     Soooo-here are some updates.  Briefly...the situation with my hopeless crush crashed and burned in a big way.  It is much too embarassing to reveal details; let's just say that he wasn't at all what I thought he was.  He had some SERIOUS baggage which led to...let's say...LEGAL consequences for HIM and a complete write off of the guy for ME.  To quote Forrest Gump, "that's all I have to say about that."
     Moving on-I have lost about 15 pounds and have been exercising more, so that is good.  In addition, I have reached a much better place in regard to what to do about certain religious matters.  Family has been a bit less placid and positive.  We almost lost one of our cats.  We took her to the vet with the expectation that she wouldn't be coming home with us.  Thankfully, after some basic tests, we found she has diabetes.  Vet put her on insulin, and she is doing much better.  The marital situation is not as certain. Have to make some changes there.  I've come up with a tentative game plan-not too many details as yet though.
     Ok-lastly-my baby girl turns 18 today.  Time has flown so quickly.  Hate to see her grown up in a way.  When I think about her moving out on her own, leaving me, it hurts my heart.  She has become like a friend as well as a daughter, and I will miss her so much.  I want to see her fly and have a healthy, happy life on her own though obviously.  Just hope we will always be close.
