wow, its been a while:

well, it seems the hits just keep on comin.  my husband goes in for double by-pass surgery in a couple of weeks and in the midst of my preparing i was laid off from my rather mundane job.  *sighs*. 

i'm confident it could be worse.  the day i found out about the lay off i tossed myself a pity party and moved on.  it seems to pale in significance compared to taking care of him and restoring him to his health.

still missing knowing my lil brother isn't around to hear my rant.  his wife has moved to another town and seems to be settling in very well.  my mother on the otherhand seems to take great relish in her grief.  stagnating she tends to refuse to move on. 

Murray was her baby and her special angel child.  i understand, though it saddens me.  she has lost a huge hunk of herself when he died, i doubt she will ever regain it.

merely observations

time to get back in the swing of things.

its been a difficult row to hoe. lots of sadness. lots of grief to work through.  my faith as a pagan has served me in such strength!  i feel so blessed.

the most stressful part of my new low paying job is the commute. 

i'm still trying to help my mom and sis-n-law heal a bit. 

it isn't easy.

still working,

Larkin Murray Chumley joined the angels Thursday, February 23rd at the age of 48.  I will forever miss him.

rest in peace my beloved little brother,

We'll it's been a while since i updated everyone.  i suppose the biggest news is that after what can only be termed as a 13 yr. engagement i finally got dragged kicking and screaming to the last instant to the alter. 

i have to admit, i'm thinking that some things might have improved since the neuptials (course its only been a little bit over 2 wks).  who knows.

there is a very, very good chance that i may have a job.  with the exception of the commute (16.7 miles), i get the sense they are paying me to keep me away from a computer!  this could go either way.  like most things i'm 'guardedly optimistic'.

anxious to re-claim my house after the holidays. 

shocked and amazed my family with the speed i can spend a Barnes and Noble gift card by ordering my first two Solitary Wicca books and a new deck of tarot cards.

things seem pretty okay right now.

Hey Sarah, big oops on missing your birthday. Hope it was fun. Happy Holidays to you, may it be full of peace and joy.

Dance the night away.

Care2 Christmas E-Cards!

got back from Charleston all in one piece along with doggie and driver.  did my best to eat the local area out of sea food!   

now that we're all home we're all trying to settle in.
