Sorry for the absence. After Mom's passing, I had to really get my life into perspective. While I'm still a work in progress, I thopught it would be a good time to get everyone up to speed on how I'm doing.
I'm good. Great even. Not fan-fricking-tastic, but good.
I've lost 70 pounds. Yeah, it sounds like a lot, but when your BMI shows you need to lose another 30-40, it puts it all in perspective. The good news is that I'm fitting back into the suit I had made for me on my 21st birthday, back when I really was God's Gift to Women.
I'm uber l33t in Word of Warcraft. I'm a level 70 Gnome Warlock currently questing with my guild in Karazhan. For the uninitiated: I'm at the top of my game in an area of the game that requires 10 people, all at the top of their game, to group together. The point of it? To get the rewards for those people at the top of their game.
The wife now plays WoW together. She's getting to be a high level herself, and we started alternate characters together. That way she's not just relying on my big character to carry her through the hard parts.
We have a new 3 season porch we're loving, loving, loving and we're getting a new 1 1/2 stall garage.
I can't think of much else, besides sappy, weepy crap about how this Mother's Day hit me like a ninja kick to the nuts, but I think every holiday or special event will... and not just the first year after her death. It may be a bit late, but tell your Mom how much she means to you. Do it now. I didn't as often as I should and, because I had already sheduled a visit, I missed out by two weeks. I missed out telling my Dad by one week.under similar circumstances. God, in whatever format he exists in, has a sick fucking sense of irony. Maybe it's a lesson in telling people you love how much you appreciate them being in your life. Maybe it's a punishment for some commandment violated. Maybe it's a random event that has nothing to do with a diety, but a unfortunate coincidence. Whatever it is, learn from my mistake.
Ooh... I got all preachy: I must be getting back to "normal"...
