"Occupied"

It could be easy like the restroom or it could be a life no longer on hold, something in stasis or so much in motion that keeping up is a lost cause.
Mom continues to do well in the Board and Care. I won good daughter points for purchasing a small fridge and a jar of bread and butter pickles! Go figure.......
My beloved Sammie died here at home 2 days before Christmas. She had a lovely trip to Tucson in November with her "sister" Madeline to help my daughter and, then son-in-law Greg to pack out their house there. Jessica moved in with a work friend and Greg with me.
Unfortunately the separation brought out some weak points in the relationship and they are currently getting a divorce. They are both having major adjustment issues. Greg is dating, Jessica is trying to find challenging activities. They are both a bit lost, hurt. Madeline is with Jessica but Greg dog-sits when Jessica and I go off on trips.
I took a new position at work which gave me more stuff to do but is well compensated for so I guess it is all good. I have a new belief in looking for talented musical artists and then planning trips in order to see them perform. Lucy Woodward was a day trip to LA, Hollywood exactly. Incredible show, well worth the trip. Looking forward to seeing Lara Price in San Fransisco in July. We also hit the Adams Ave Root Festival and The Gator by the Bay for blues/zydeco. I truly enjoy the smaller venues and undiscovered local acts. They are often as talented as the bigger names but with out the visibility. We had an "ex-Arc" get together which was fun. As usual I got an extra pair of sunglasses, a hair thingy, a notepad and a spoon from Iowa. Hopefully they will make their way back to their owners....but I don't know. Jessica and I did go to Colorado in April which was fun. All in all life has been on going which is not a bad thing.

My favorite saying is that there will be plenty of time to sleep when your dead!
