May Update

Well, the year is certainly turning into something more complicated than I expected. I expected to be “free” by now, but for one reason or another, things are dragging out. That is frustrating.

The house finally sold and there should be a closing at the end of this month, pending appraisal.

I’m finding myself at a bit of a crossroads in terms of personal relationships. I’m finding that true friends are there through thick and thin. Some friends are just plain flaky (mmmm flaky).  I have learned that I can be rather needy and obsessive. That’s not a good thing and is something I will fix. I’m working on a special relationship that I hope doesn’t get spoiled by my issues.

All in all, its a LOT to deal with.

I know that the last year (!!) has taken a huge toll on me emotionally and I really need to get back the good old, fun loving Simon we all know and love. I have cautious hope for the future, but I know nothing is guaranteed in life. We can only respond, learn and adapt to the best of our abilities.

I will have to move into a new place in June, which will probably mean a lot of storage and probably a furnished place I rent for a couple of months until things here are truly tied up. At that point, I hope to hit Canada for a couple of months in order to fully hit my stride. From then, who knows?

I am grateful for the many friends and family in my life. You know who you are.
