It's been a long time since I've written here. So sorry, but life gets busy sometimes.

I'm glad to report that I am finally starting to feel like my old self again. It feels so good to come out of that dark cloud that I was in. It was so bad that I didn't even know I was in it.

I'd like to apologize to everyone I've been around the last eight months. Life was kind of crappy for me and I'm pretty sure I was a distant, stand-offish shell of a human being. I wasn't ever happy. I didn't ever want to get out of the house and I was attached to Robert at the hip. (sorry honey). I can probably count on one hand how many times I laughed out loud at anything. So sad.

I didn't realize that moving to another state out of the blue like we did would take such a toll on me. I guess I don't handle that kind of stress well. I like to plan things and the last 8 or 9 months had no plan whatsoever. None. It was a roller coster ride for me,  and one that I hated.

We decided to move early November, found a job that month, put up our house for sell and moved by the end of December. We didn't even get to say goodbye to everyone. People didn't even know we'd moved until we were gone. It was that fast. The next five months was living in a tiny and cramped apartment, unsure of where we wanted to live and unsure if we'd even find a house worth living in.

Let me tell you that having a home to call your own makes a huge difference on ones mood.  I'm not talking about owning either, just having a place you know you're going to be living in for a long time makes all the difference.  We had no idea how long we we're going to be in that apartment so we never unpacked. We were surrounded by boxes, reminders of how unstable our life was.

I'm so happy to be happy again. Thank you for being patient with me.
