An Update
/Time flies whether you’re having fun or not, whether the kids have gotten so tall or about to go off to college. My last post was more than a year and a half ago. In that time…
I got a new job at UT! Finally! And I was really excited about the work. The offer came right before Thanksgiving.
My sister, my mother and her sister, my Aunt Margaret, came to Austin for Thanksgiving. My Uncle Clem, my mother and Margaret’s brother, died on Thanksgiving Day 2018.
My Aunt Margaret, had a stroke one day shy of a week after Thanksgiving Day.
I started my new challenging, but much more rewarding job.
I went home to Florida to see my Aunt and be there with my mother and sister.
Margaret died 22 days after her big brother.
For Christmas we planned a huge funeral for Margaret. I saw people I hadn’t seen in decades. We hugged, we cried. (I miss doing this now.)
I came back to Austin and worked. A lot.
I finished the first draft of a new novel
I may have slept through Summer 2019
I worked more in Fall 2019 than I had in the Spring 2019.
The Holidays were shockingly good. The earth had gone all the way around the sun and we had good memories. I had ideas about the future.
I got a renewal notice in January for this website. I hadn’t forgotten I had a website. My last post made reference to Chidi during or after the 3rd season of The Good Place, and the 4th and final season had just ended.
I renewed the site. I was going to post on my birthday in late February. I did not.
And then, the plague happened. And here we are. In April. In our homes. Zooming. Constantly Zooming.
With so many dead and many, many more infected.
I’m revising the novel.
