The truth is, I'm working my ass off. Literally. I've lost 14 pounds since the divorce began. Now there's a good diet, though I don't really recommend it. I work at the salon in the mornings, and then I'm doing training in the evenings until 11:30 ish. 5 days a week, people. That works out to be about 60 hours a week. That is crazy. Take that, and add on the flu, and boy howdy, I'm pretty much a mess.
Thankfully I have this super short lesbian haircut to cut down on my "getting ready" time, which has really come in handy.
As for life these days, each day is different. Fly by the seat of my pants. I miss the kids in my home every day, but we're all adjusting okay I think. I miss the life I had before, but I'm enjoying the empowerment that comes from doing things myself, albeit hard and tear-filled most of the time. I miss my mom daily, more now than ever I think, but I'm so grateful for my siblings and my dad and Noma. They are all truly a blessing in my life. I know they have a hard time with the situation, but they take it all with a smile and a knowledge that I've always been a free spirit, and this is no different. They just support me,l and that's what I need.
I hope you're all doing well, and I promise I will keep up better on the blog. At least on my good days.

Glad to hear you're alive and kicking!!
14 lbs, awesome, even if by stressful means. Why doesn't stress do that to me? DAMMIT!
It's hard now, but you will turn out stronger in the end! As lame as it sounds, it really is the hard times that build character. You are an amazing person! Stay strong!
P.S. I am a little jealous. I want to lose 14 lbs!!!!!!!
You are absolutely amazing! May you have the courage and strength you need forever! :)
