Then & Now

Since the spring I feel like I have been living my life on a non-stop carnival ride. First it was getting the house ready for a renter then that blowing up followed by getting it ready to be put on the market to be sold. Post sale there has been paperwork and banking to take care of and a whole lot of crap from the house to figure out what to do with. A few weeks ago Mike and I spent a rainy Sunday putting together shelves and organizing the storage space in this house, and while that looks much better, there is still plenty of stuff in the garage that needs a permanent home. I have been trying to figure things out for the better part of the last eight years and for the time being I need a hiatus. Work is busy, Mike is busy, and for the last week I have had a constant ache in my neck and shoulders. Stress, I thought to myself, surely this is stress from these last few months and then I looked at the calendar. I knew Father’s Day was coming up even though I try every year to ignore it…
