Havn't been in here in awhile and a lot has changed. Bittersweet changes. I got promoted at work, which is good. The bad is my hours are really hard on me since I don't get to see Mrs. Kimpak as much anymore. Speaking of promotions, prolly my best friend also got promoted, which is awesome. What sux is he had to move away, so boo :(. One of my other best friends from the before time, and one time girlfriend, has moved back to Iowa. The bad....I still can't go visit. 3 hours away seems so close yet so far away. How does one tell one's Mrs. they want to go visit an ex g/f? The result is I kinda feel alone, especially since I live out in the sticks. What makes matters worse is Mrs. Kimpak had a rash of business trips so I've been seeing her even less. Fortunately this should be the last week of that, till next month anyway. But for now, I sit at my computer or watch late night TV (which isn't good btw)and watch the time pass till the weekend. The good news is I'm better equipped as a person to handle these things than I ever used to be. I know things will get better at some point. I just have to endure till then. In other news, a blast from the past messages me out of the blue. A person who has a power over me that I don't completely understand. A person who caused me so much joy, and so much pain in my life. Things started off well, then a whole flood of memories came back. Sometimes I hate the way my mind works. Events that happened well over a decade ago are still fresh in my mind, playing like little movies. The good, yes....but also the bad. /sigh, I thought I had moved on more than I had.
