Octobers Lie's Notebook

Well, I bought myself a membership just a few moments ago. I am still AMAZED of the items still in my portfolio! I'm shocked! Thank you!

It's kinda funny. A forwarded postcard from Writing.Com a bit ago, and the other night I needed a long sleeve t-shirt...I wore my long sleeve Writing.Com t-shirt.

For the last several years, I've had a poem from a member from Writing.Com taped to my wall in my office. "Rich Indeed", from Bobby. I searched tonight but couldn't find it on the site. My copy is tattered, but it will always stay with me.

I've always loved this site. I still do.

And my favorite season is almost here.

Got a lot of catching up to do, a lot of learning, a lot of edits, and several scribbles to add.

You are part of the family here. I am so glad to see you are back. Just take your time, take deep breaths and you will see that it is all nice here.

I am so lost here. So much has change. Navigating thru the site is not as easy as it once was for me. Guess I'll learn. I was so tickled to see that PIF, Thing, & Red, responded to my post. Great friends, that I lost touch with, but still here! I am blessed.

Had to work today, but the latter was painting. Hoping for a closing date. Hoping to break even. With the market in my town, and etc...even is good. Disappointed with ethics and professionalism, but I have to look at the brighter side of things.

I am and trying to be a better person than I was once was. Although, I'm told that I should handle things differently, I am trying to be a patience and a understanding person. I know that I just got screwed over on the closing deal with my house. Nothing I can do now about that now. I believe in karma. Hoping to close on my house in the next few days after inspection.

My house. Bought it when I was told I couldn't. A place that was totally mine. Worked on it, improved it, and made it mine. A place that my friends visited and could also call home. I miss that. I always will.

Been over a year now since my mom passed. I miss her everyday. It gets a bit easier with time, but I still miss her.
When it comes to my mom, I can cry with just a passing thought. Staying with my dad and taking care of things here, it's what I need and have to do. I'm where I should be right now. It's trying at times, but I am trying to make my circumstances a positive one for my family. I love my family. I'm just still grieving.

Ollie is alive and well. Just been busy with a life that hasn't been very forgiven, nor kind. Financial issues hit me hard a few years ago, during and after my divorce. A heartbreak there, but I slowly got over that, because I'm better than what he expected. ;) And my dating life should have been a sitcom. Stories may follow. ;)

Still very busy, grown child and all. Job keeps me busy, and so does my personal life. Lost a parent a year ago. Trying to sell my house because I'm living with the other parent ever since, caring for them.

I received forwarded mail the other day...and my surprise, one was from writing.com.

I made so many friends here. I lost touch. Are they still here? Should I? This site is so different now. I feel lost.

Well, I've been lost for some time.
