How does this keep happening? How is my life so insanely busy that I never seem to have time to write?
Well, first of all my sister is pregnant with twins and just about to pop, and she's also moving (with her husband) into a partially remodeled house, so I've been spending a LOT of my time helping her out. The upside is that I've been getting an incredible amount of exercise and have lost some weight without really even trying. The downside is that I haven't had a whole lot of free time to spend on myself. Also, I'm exhausted and my back is killing me. At least they're just about done, but I have a feeling I'll be spending more time helping with the cleaning and unpacking in the near future.
In my own life, things haven't changed much. I'm still single, although I won't be alone for too long - one of my best friends is moving into my extra room, which will provide me with some company as well as some much-appreciated help with the mortgage. Still, I'd hoped that once I got my life squared away - dealing with the passing of my beloved cat, finding a great place to live, and starting a decent job - I could finally find the one thing that has eluded me all these years; a happy relationship. It just doesn't seem to be on the horizon, even though I've been branching out, trying to meet people, and even going on a few dates. I worry that I will be single for the rest of my life, and I really don't like that idea.
My garden is coming along nicely. After digging in 18 bags of steer manure mixed with compost, the plants are doing quite well. I'm hoping to get a nice crop of tomatoes this year, although with the cold weather we've been having, I doubt the bell peppers will do very well.
I'm really hoping to have some quiet time in the next few weeks in order to spend some time on myself. We'll see how that goes, I guess.
