This has been quite a nice week. I spent thanksgiving with family, just hanging out at my friend’s dad’s house. Seeing as how it was the first holiday single, I was a bit concerned as to how I would handle it, but turns out I was fine. I am used to spending thanksgiving alone anyhow, as he worked often during that holiday. The only difference was that I did not go see his family. I was not feeling too good for part of the day, and I think everybody was worried that I was sad, but I wasn't, not in the least. I hope this lasts.
My sister had a baby, a girl named Rosemary. She was born on the 25th, hours after my sister’s husband left to go back to Afghanistan. Although we were all happy she was born, it is sad he couldn't be there to see it. I am hoping my sister will come out for Christmas, so I can meet my niece.
I have been working a lot lately; late, late hours five to six days a week. It finally slowed down, and I have been left with a lot of late nights up by myself. It's been okay because I have plenty to do, but nights seem long when you are the only one up. I have a friend , Jacob, who is in from out of town who is also a night owl, so I have had company a few nights and that has been welcome.
Emotionally, I am doing extremely well. I don't think about him all the time. I can bring him up in conversation if the topic relates to something that had to do with him, and it's nothing to me. The same way I would say, "oh yea, by brother..." it's comfortable now that he is a part of my past, and no longer a part of my future.
I'm jumping into this new life with both feet.
