Tons of stuff going on in my life right now. I apologize if I have neglected anyone of late, I know I have neglected my journal. However, I haven't neglected writing, as will soon become evident. (More details to come later).
My house is almost completely done with the "remodeling" effort. I had originally intended to have some friends over today for a BBQ so that they could see progress, but then progress was slowed somewhat yesterday by the nice folks at Kauffman Tire and their incompetence and poor customer service. This means that the kitchen will be in no shape to cook in today, thus, I cancelled out yesterday afternoon once it became evident I was being too optimistic.
This does mean, however, that a post-DragonCon soiree is likely the weekend after Labor Day. Put it on your calendars, you have all been warned. This soiree will be accompanied by a Major Life Announcement(tm) from myself as well.
My life is all at once filled with much happiness. I'd say it was all due to a certain individual, but he gets mad when I say that. Oh, and we're not dating, just so you know. As he puts it, "it is what it is, and labels won't change that." He's right, too bad I had to wait until I was 45 to realize that. So let's just say that I have a new friend that makes me smile on a regular basis. He is unlike any other man that I've ever shared my life with, and I have never trusted anyone so completely. Don't get me wrong, we're very different people, in some ways, shockingly so, however, we complement each other perfectly.
The unrest I've felt since the beginning of this year is gone. I now know what the "major changes" are that were nagging my subconscious. Luckily for me, this time they were very positive. (I usually only get the willies when something bad is going to happen). I'm still at a fork in the road, but the path ahead is clear, and yet again, I'm going to take the road less travelled. I think that my announcement will probably shock most people that know me, as I certainly don't "seem the type" and most have not gotten to know me well enough to realize what my true passions might be. Of course, this is probably because I'm not the most open person, or maybe it's because they just never asked me the right questions. Regardless, I realize that many of my friends don't really know me at all. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, they're still dear to me nonetheless.
Ciao for now.
