Babs, big congrats

Trachy, this sounds like a very difficult time for you. Sending you my best thoughts for getting it all untangled and going smoothly!

How is life, Duff?

How about for you, Trach?

Have you heard anything more from your daughter, Sass?

My licensing class is going well. Since I'm a little hyper lately I'm moving fast. One more after this. I'm looking forward to moving back to the Lake Country.

Lot's of challenges right now.

Thanks for asking, Gilmer! Things are...well...let's just say lots of ups & downs. Some amazing things are happening which I can't wait to share soon but the divorce is not fun at all. It will be much better when we're in separate homes but not sure when that's going to happen yet. Lots of emotions - times of pure joy and excitement followed by moments of extreme anxiety and terror. But the funny thing is - I have zero desire to drink through any of this -- I feel like I need a clear head now more than ever and am relying on prayer, exercise and friends & family. I can't imagine how I would have coped 3, 2, maybe even 1 year ago?

Trach, I was where you are last week - running on high collecting financial docs and planning ahead - it's a good feeling to be moving forward. I'm so happy for you and can't wait to follow you on this next chapter of your life. We're both facing a lot of challenges right now but we're not facing them alone

How are your studies going, Gilmer? Can't think of a more timely time to take your class.

xoxo hoping everyone is having a great day!

Trachy, that sounds great!

Duff, even under the best of circumstances, I don't think a divorce is easy.

Gilmer, my daughter is having a tough time of it. She doesn't want my help and so I am hanging back. It's painful even after all of these years. However, I'm at a point in my life where I feel it's finally time to take care of me - that feels selfish but I don't think there's much I can do that would be helpful.

My last post was right before I fell into bed.

I came home from work, ready to work on my licensing. I realized I needed a workspace, not a laptop. I cleared out a corner, set up a table and printer and set to work.

Moving along, making progress, printer craps out. : I need these documents!

OK, stop breathing...no: Stop. Breath. I have another printer over there. Hook it up, set it up, make it work.

Even with the delay, I covered two days coursework in one.

Not bad for an old guy.

Thanks again for all the congrats.
Having a good week-end and nothing planned. I like that----It's fun just to
take the day as it comes.
It's great being sober.

My day was made.

My recently rediscovered lady friend called me today asking me to come by.

I won't have long as it's the night before my first licensing exam but I sure will be there.

I don't share a lot on here except with y'all.

I am humbled.

Y'all have been so good to me. Helped me so much. I have miles to go but, you have helped me go miles.

I owe my life to you many times over. Had I not found you, I would be dead. I can't think of this journey without thinking of you.

The new journey is upon me. I'm 57 and starting another career. This will be the fourth. Career. You have been and will be my inspiration.

Crap, did I just paraphrase Spock?

Age is just a number.
