Closure

Well, that's it.

Eleven years of history tucked away in my bag of memories now, it's all done. Today was my last day at work and it's officially over, I said a final goodbye to my empty office, turned and walked away with a heavy heart.


Many, many people are devastated by the acquisition and an abundance of hot tears were shed this afternoon, as reported by Vegas... I was lucky enough to have left early to run an errand so I missed the waterworks, but being at the tail end of three long weeks of mourning and winding down, I was actually relieved to walk away.

And so begins a new era.

Am happy to have attended my friend's funeral tonight, all this after getting an email from my dad that his little companion, a rescued mutt named Kemo, had passed away on November 3rd.

They spent every day together the past 7 years, 24/7. They were inseperable. It took him this long to be able to write a word to anyone, the grief being too great and overwhelming... He never thought it would hurt this much. How could I have warned him?

And so ends an era.

I'm tired.

I hope to sleep for a week.

Crossing fingers that I have a job interview next week though, it's looking quite promising... Yeah, I need to work for a bit before we move out of the city in the spring - crunching numbers gave us a realistic goal of April and I'm already counting down the days.

Enough time spent dreaming, now we're making it a reality.

Wouldn't anyone do the same?

You do have a heavy heart, and for good reason. Lots of unfortunate things happening all at the same time. I hope you get to sleep a good long time too...take care,Suz

(hugs) The end of an era of uncertainty, unpleasantness, stress, and all that jazz.

Your memory will warp this era eventually and you might end up missing it, but I have no doubt that if you could go back a year, two years, four years, you would never do it.

I don't know how long I've known you now, but I've seen you go through a lot of heartache both at home and at work, and I'm just glad that in neither are you getting pushed around anymore.

You have your life back. :)

Busy Bee, sleep does change one's energy and mood, for sure. Specially on super-rainy wet weekends like today... zzzzz.

Prin, (( hugs)). You always know what to say to cheer me up :-)
