Long Time, No See

 I was so into blogging once upon a time. And then along came Facebook ...

So, just because I accidentally got logged into this account, let me catch you up on a few things that have happened since 2013 ...

Settled into my Home Sweet Home in Round Lake and started making connections in the neighborhood. Broke up with Rich but never completely ... he was always there for me when I needed him. Turned 50 ... went on five vacations in 2016 including Hawaii with Betsy and Marti and Costa Rica with Rich ... hated my boss and my job ... Mom broke her hip and Dad had heart surgery ... Dad was on dialysis and never really recovered from the surgery ... took FMLA to help both Mom and Dad out ... was in Florida helping and then driving them back to NY when I got the call that Rich had died from a sudden heart attack ... and then a month later, Dad died.

Started applying for jobs in North Carolina and got one at Guilford College in Greensboro NC. Packed up my life and moved in March 2020. And then the COVID-19 pandemic hit full blast. Spent the first five months working from home, but at least I had (and still have) a job.

Rented the house to Becky and Kevin Scott and they wanted to buy it so ... sold my Home Sweet Home and thus no need for this blog any more. Renting a townhouse here and it suits me just fine. Funny how things change.
