My How Things Have Changed

I had a hard life growing up, married young, had babies young, spent 15 years getting through college, had a great career while helping my extremely high maintenance husband with his career, got the kids through college, and cared for my husband during a lengthy final illness.

It was exciting but It was all about keeping my nose to the grindstone pretty much 24-7.

Now it's cushy as can be. Today I went to the gym with my boyfriend then had a romantic lunch in a great restaurant. I'm 1,500 miles away from home. I can do what I want. Whoopee.

So I'm going to have a glass of wine and play some cribbage.
