It's Back!

I’ve moved my website and all the fixin’s to a new host. The last one was a bit slow fo my liking. I’m now with GoDaddy! and couldn’t be happier. All is well on the blog front.

In my personal life I’m still dealing with my mother’s death the best I can. I’ve been OK these past few days, but my mood swings unexpectedly at times. I’ve been somewhat of a shut-in lately; haven’t left the house very often.

I’m also trying to reset my sleep schedule again. Yesterday I fell asleep at 6pm and woke up this morning at 2am.

I’m leaving for Kansas next week. We’re going to spend the 4th of July at my brother in law’s mother’s house in Garden City. I play on driving out there–it’s about 1,750 miles. On the way back I plan to make some stops in Utah and Idaho and possibly Montana. I’m also toying around with the idea of driving up to Alaska.

I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures and post ’em when I get home.

Snippy

Today was a bad day for me.

Everything and everyone irriated me. I couldn’t help it. No matter what I did I could not improve my mood.

My sisters are over at the house tonight with the kids and dogs, and all I wanted to do was get out of the room.

Nothing against them, not at all. I just didn’t want to be around people. I snapped at my niece, and then I knew it was time to leave the house for awhile.

I spent a couple hours driving around, just wandering with no direction or plans. I found myself driving past Eden hospital, the place where I was born, the place where my sisters were born too–and also the place where my mom died.

As I drove past the hospital I kept looking up to that top floor, the neurology wing, the last place I saw my mom. It was… surreal.

Sigh.

I wandered for a bit longer and finally made it home. Not happy at all to be there, but with nowhere else to go.
