It's been so long since I wrote in here, I couldn't even remember the correct sign-in name. ::Smirks::
I hate posting afte rbeing away so long. How do you catch up? How do you even begin to pretend to catch up? Here's the huge updates:
I went to PA school in NY. Was engaged, lived on Long Island for 3 years, and.. was never so happy to leave a place. :: Laughs.:: I've worked in Boston, Portland, OR, and have tried to live my life as fully as possible.
Nan died. Dad died. Last year was.. awful. Just awful. This year seems to be shaping up a bit better, but we shall see.
I have now bought one of my very own house.. and sold it. Then bought another with the huge piece of good news that has happened- his name is Logan. We've now been together for.. 3 years in July. And I heart him to pieces, even if sometimes I hide it a bit too well. He has stuck with me through last year, I suck with him through his pelvic fracture. I guess we're stuck together through hardship, but I think some of the toughest relationships are like that. I'm not sure we'll ever have the wedding, kids, picket fence, but I'm happy with what we do have.
I bought my own horse and two dogs! Sherwood, AKA Miss Sherwood AKA MS Dragonstar, is so typical of my animals- a dominant queen you need to ask versus dare to tell. Fight or flight? There's only one option. But we have some lofty goals for this year, and so far, she's been one of my biggest challengers but also a fantastic teacher. Loki.. Loki-dog.. is 7 this year. OMG. :: Goofy grin:: Whereas Sprite, who was my bitch-sistah, was my heart dog, Loki is.. just as much so my love. He's my old man, and if I thought there was a chance in heaven that I could keep him forever, I would. Then there's the Ruff-Tuff Rufus. You remember that dog I always wanted as a kid? Ears flapping out the window, long tail, chases sticks, goofy mutt? That is so Rufus. He started out a little rough (read nickname was Craigslist!), but he's truly blossomed into an amazing companion and family-member. In fact, he just had a litter with Mom's new Poodle, Shadow- they were born 3 days ago. PS. He a Lokes are 1/2 brothers, so Loki lives on in some way! I will definitely be keeping a pup of his at some point.
I'm done for now. Gotta go drink my coffee. Yes, I drink that toxic shit now.. Gotta die somehow, right? :: Grins.::
