gina_r_snapeWell hellooooo everyone. Or just one? Who knows.
It's been a year since my last entry and I I thought perhaps a update would be nice. 2017 ended with me and a friend going to a local bar/restaurant for a lovely evening. 2019 was a whirlwind of activity. I accepted a faculty position at a University, went to California and Denver (I actually interviewed in Denver but didn't opt to go live there). I went on the JoCo cruise, then went to Europe where I visitedspursgirl79 in the UK and various friends in Berlin and Cologne. I did a LOT of socializing in NYC and basically soaked up the warmth and friendship, having a good time and reclaiming the good vibes that were whisked away in the strain of recent times.
I am now living in Connecticut! I learned to drive! I have a car! I'm on a tenure track in a small social work department at a small University that seems to be my speed. I miss all the socializing and friendships in NYC, but I have a huuuuuge beautiful flat and the kitties now have a hallway to run back and forth while I try to sleep.
I still miss T-Rex terribly, but I am not infrequently reminded of his presence. He still seems to be able to find ways to get my needs met.
For all these things I am thankful.
I send wishes to whomever winds up reading this, for all good things in 2019.

Date: 2018-12-26 08:07 pm (UTC)I was wondering where you'd been.
We retired a couple of years back. We have also moved and are now living in the county of Shropshire (Cadfael country) over in the English West Midlands close to the Welsh border.
We picked up a lovely Victorian house in need of a lot of TLC which has been two year project, but we're almost through!
Those we have loved never truly leave us, but you knew that. :o)
Glad to hear things are going well!
