Distractions

Here are the things  that have kept me from my blog.   

My computer, my phone and my washing machine all died within two days of each other.  Getting  a new computer up and running meant trying to recover critical programs and files. My phone required switching users since US Cellular stopped serving the Chicagoland area. Taking care of this business and watching a growing pile of laundry was just a little too much.  Once I got all of these issues managed, lo and behold, my son decided to graduate from high school requiring a whole series of events including becoming mired in maudlin nostalgia and mid-life crisis.  Currently I am battling  an enormous swarm of termites for my computer space.  This constitute not only a disgusting annoyance, but a whole lot of terrifying economic possibilities.  Therefore, I am being kept from my blog. 

M life is in flux. I am facing the empty nest come August.  This has some positive aspects.  I will no longer get out of the shower and realize that every last towel in the house is currently in my sons room.  I will no longer listen to the sound of Zombie battles from the ubiquitous Xbox.  And, I won't have to sort through 200 pairs of socks to decide which are his, which are his dad's and which are being used as dust rags by the cleaning lady.
But mostly, My son leaving home, is making me feel sad and confused by how life went by so fast and what is going to happen in part 2.

My MS symptoms have begun to impact every part of my life and have been determining what I can and can't do with working and my career.  I will be  share my musing more frequently in an effort to inform and to figure it out myself.  So look for more frequent posts.

  Right now, though, I have to go kill some  frigging termites...
