A week since I posted last. I am sitting here moving all my ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crimsonspin account posts to greaterjournal--so I can delete this old account. I am sad, but at least I will have all four years' worth of posts there. Then I plan to do the same to twisting_path, and deleting that one as well. I rather like this lj, like being Far Far Away from those people I really have no wish to talk to/see ever again.
The format of this LJ has changed for a reason--I am not renewing my paid account. No desire to pay money to a corporation that deletes journals willy nilly because of so-called questionable content. Nope, no more money from me. So when this one drops over to a regular account, I'll be ready. Who needs all those userpics anyway?
So much has been happening this summer. We've had major problems at work, resulting in one of the guys quitting today. Sigh. Things are so different there, and yet I still love my job, and yet, I am so tired of all the negativity I wish I could do something else. Except, I love what I do, I love the freedom, the flexibility and frankly I love being a Princess there. LOL. I am Perfect and Awesome and like it that way.
I have been diagnosed with sciatic inflammation and I don't like it at all. It's left with a sore butt and right leg.
The puppy grows in leaps and bounds and is only 90% housebroken. He got out the front door tonight, unseen by the kids leaving, and Tiff looked out front and there he was, waiting patiently to be let back in. I think he forgets he is a Siberian Husky. If he wants to think he is a Springer that is fine with me. I freaked naturally.
Nick is coming to live with me for six wonderful weeks in the Spring. February to April, six weeks. I am so needing him here so bad, and yet am having a real hard time finding the right way to tell my kids that N and I are more than friends. I don't even want to tell them, and yet think I should, and yet, I don't want to, and yet... How to explain WHY I love Nick so much, without making them feel like their father did not do for me what Nick does? Even though it is, yes, the truth. I am no longer hollow.
I've been working very very hard every night on Jax. I am very happy with the progress, though tonight I ended up taking son to the store late. One of the problems I've been having with sitting at my desk is how terribly uncomfortable my chair was. Well... I am now sitting on a gorgeous brown leather chair to-die-for. They were having a big sale on them and this thing is so comfortable, and was only 80 bucks, that I am thinking of telling my boss I want one for the office. My hip doesn't hurt with it, and it is so soft... I love it!
Not much else, other than the daughter leaves for college a week from tomorrow. She is in love, having found herself a really sweet boyfriend before leaving. SIGH. LOL. That is not the way it is supposed to go you know?
Kelly and I are ready, though. She's been both aggravating and gone so much, that we just are ready for the peace and quiet. We love her but it is just Time. I finally, finally got him a decent computer, one that should last him several years with lots of upgrade room and she pitched a fit about it tonight--forgetting of course all that I've done for her extra and beyond these last couple of years. At times like these, she reminds me of her father, and that is when I get tied up into knots.
So, back to work tomorrow, and then oh that is the last, best thing of all...Nick has got me hooked completely on Rufus Wainwright. I happened to look at his website today and discovered he will be here FRIDAY in concert--I got tickets! AWESOME seats! I can't believe it! The kids are going with me. It should be fun though Tiff joked that we'll have to protect Kelly from all the single boys. LOL.
Yup yup, gonna see Rufus...been listening to his music nonstop since last week. Nick is jeaaallloouuusss tooooo.... Squee!! I love it when he pouts. LOL.
Guess that is it, and yes I am about a month behind on reading the flist. Real Life has been that insane. Really.
Recent read: LOTTERY by Patricia Wood. It is an awesome book--just loved it.
Book in Progress: ALMOST done with A WOMAN IN BERLIN: Eight Days in the Conquered City by Anonymous. Fabulous book about the time during and following the fall of Hitler, one woman's experiences, the good and bad and very very ugly. Amazing story.
Next up: Memoirs of a 1000-Year-Old Woman, Berlin 1925 to 1945. Yes, I am fascinated by that time period--more importantly, by stories told of those times that are not from or about the Jewish perspective. So many others did suffer and endure, and they have stories too. N's grandmother was one such person.
Primary goal for August 17th until November-Thanksgiving: Finish Jax. Yes. I finally am feeling like it is going to happen. After roughly four years off from serious writing, well...I want it.
Nite kids...hope everyone is staying cool out there. I sure am (and paying the electric bills to prove it)

Date: 2007-08-22 02:48 am (UTC)I would leave comparing Kel and Nick out all together when you do explain the situation. It's not about your relationship with Kel. To be blunt, it's about the here and now. If Kel were with you, Nick wouldn't even be an issue. As long as you were married, I think it's obvious you're not into having multiple romantic relationships.
Just my opinion, but I would think their main worry would be whether or not Nick is a temporary/experimental relationship and not wanting to see you get hurt.
Not much help, but please know I'm thinking of you and I hope you discover you had less to worry about than you thought.
