When I restarted in 2013 and wrote that my life was about to change, oh boy, did it, but not in a good way. Dad's had at least a couple of strokes and the last couple of years I've been having to deal with him being in and out of the hospital and rehab and finding him assisted living on an extremely limited budget. We moved to a condo that's been in a state of remodel for over 2 years, our house up North has been in a state of building/remodel for almost 4 years. I'm tired of putting my dreams and plans on hold. This year, on September 11, I turn 50. I swore to myself that I will leave my current job either before I turn 50 or, by the latest, before I reach my 10 year anniversary there (that is the first week in November). I'm 2 years away from the age Mom was when she died. I'm not going to let myself get to the point that I either die early or die before doing things I wanted to accomplish.
I can't remember how many times I've restarted this. My best guess, as I've deleted posts from the first couple of tries, is that I've been trying to get this thing going for over 10 years. I've only ever finished a tiny handful of things on any list (this last one had ONE item I accomplished). It's time to start living and start doing.
