I'm currently on vacation and don't return to work until Wednesday next week... no plans, but I'll figure out something to break up the monotony of too-many days that may drive me mental otherwise
other than that...
I work
I pay my bills on time
I sleep a few hours every night
I spend time with my daughters when able
I watch movies
I listen to music
I read books
I go online
it's kinda weird how simple and stable my world has become compared to decades ago...
I admit there are times I miss the chaos of the past - but that's why I have my daughters, right? *grins*
I'm not saying I don't like my life - hells, I love it for the most part
I'm not saying my life is perfect - gods know it's not...
but I never wanted perfect. good gods, who would ?!?
there are things that, yes, would make my life more interesting - unlikely things, but things nonetheless
hells, I enjoy childhood vicariously through my daughters since I remember nigh naught before I was 15 ( and between 15 and 18 are fuzzy moments at best )
many of the memories I do have are harsh and sometimes godsawful ones - my life hasn't been known for being wonderful
but people stand out - friends that've come and gone, many of whom I'll never see again
people that kept me and my life either in check or warped it wonderfully *laughs*
I've dated less than a handful, but that's another story entirely and one quite unlikely to occur anytime in the near future
hells, it's only been 8yrs and by odds and calculations I'm not due for a relationship until well past retirement
( though if I divide it by 4, it'll be in my 50s so in around a decade or so I may meet someone... )
'course, only one of the relationships I was in lasted longer than 40days...
ANYways... enough of that...
I don't know if I need something to happen to shake up my life a bit or just keep things going as always
I have a great job, great daughters, live in a good location, and - as already stated - enjoy my simple, stable life
and, no, death won't shake up my life - hells, we're only 5 months into the year and already 5 people I know have died...
only two major ones that actually emotionally affected me, but still
death isn't unusual in my life, so that's nothing chaotic to me anymore
I'm happy - but there's just... something... bugging me about the lack of chaos
I admit, it could be because I so seldom see anyone other than co-workers and my daughters regularly
and when I do see friends it tends to be rush-rush and then years between ( with a select few that occur twice or even thrice a year )
an old friend I graduated with will be moving to the Cities within a month - but there are other people I know in the Cities that I only see every few years
*shrugs* so that's no gaurantee that'll shift/shake up my life any
admittedly it'd be great to see her and meet her baby - she's such a wonderful person, though I've only seen her maybe twice since we graduated :)
weather is finally warmer, so I can finally get my walking back into gear and get myself a little more out of winter-shape ;)
though that's another semi-normalcy, not life-changing or chaos-inducing in any way
( though I should be careful saying that, tragedies have happened from such normalcy-expecting mentalities in the past )
oh well and so be it... I've got nearly a week to relax and do whatever and maybe something interesting will happen in these few days to shift/shake-up my life ?
until my next posting, Farethee Well, My Lovelies and Gentlefolk !

182hrs until I return to work... yes, kiddies, vacation has officially begun.
now what ? ;)
a beautiful first evening of a weeks-worth of vacation - I do believe I'm going to get out there and enjoy it a bit and get some walking in
nearly 8miles for the day - well worth the stop at Buffalo Wild Wings for a few drinks and always excellent boneless wings :) *whew* / Yeh!
5/18 :
