Wow, the last few months have been
crazy. I went back to work and have not had a weekend off yet. Between
helping out here on the farm and working from 7:00 am to 6:pm fixing my
department, I have not had much time to myself. Tonight is the first
night in months that I have taken the time to actually sit down at my
computer here at home. There are just places that I can not go on my
work Ipad or computer.
How
am I holding up, well I have not had much time to worry about romance
or Dominants that is for sure. I had started talking to someone, and
then just kind of quit. He lives in Dallas, and I live way down here. I
just had too much on my plate with starting a new job in a department
that is getting chewed up and regurgitated by the government.
Hopefully, things will slow down enough that I can reconnect with him
and see where it goes.
Last
month was hard. My niece and nephew came to visit for just over 2
weeks. The day that they were supposed to leave, we got a call from one
of my uncles and was informed that one of the other ones had a heart
attack on the golf coarse and was dead. We had the memorial service on
August 14, 2013. He had wanted to be cremated, so there was no
funeral. We had the service today, which fell on the same weekend as
Beyond Vanilla XXIII, so my hopes for a fun filled weekend in Dallas
were a no go, but I do not regret going to the Celebration of
life/Funeral. I have come to understated that family is more important
than social events as of late.. It was nice seeing all the family and
loved ones that got to share in his life stories. Uncle Phill was the
middle child of 5, only 55 years old. He actually died on the
anniversary of my Great- Great-Grandmother's death, Aug 11, 1963.
This
was one of his favorite pictures. It was taken at Circle 8 Rodeo
Grounds. He loved being a rodeo clown, and in this one, he was trying
to help out an injured rider, and ended up getting the blunt of the
action. That is him on the right getting bulldozed by the business end
of the bull.
He
was an amazing man that left behind stories that would make you shake
your head one minute and laugh so hard the next that you would pass out.
WE LOVE YOU UNCLE PHILL!!!!!
I miss him dearly but know that he is having a blast hanging out with my Grandparents in heaven.
