Routines and I'll Go For Now.

Time flies by.  Getting near to the end of January.  Been busy at work and traveling to and from in blizzard snow.  The worst blizzards in years.  Of course it had to happen the year I had to start driving to and from work.  Sometimes at night I feel like I'm navigating the Star Ship Enterprise.  There is pitch darkness witch snow hitting the windshield, it looks like stars.  At times I can't see the road - so God only knows where I might end up.  I drive slowly and follow my GPS screen for guidance.

My life is so different from a year ago.  It's steady, routine and calm.  I'm loving it!  It's been so long since I have fallen into a routine.  Trust me, routines are nice. 

Not much more time left on my break at work to journal - so I'll go for now. - Jimmy

"Hi" From The Road.

Four years!  Four years ago tonight I lost my other half, Ray Riker, III.  I will never forget that day.  Every single minute of that last day is etched in my mind forever. 

I do finally feel like I have accepted life, my new life.  It's taken so long.  There have been so many downs, and just when I though I couldn't get any more down somehow it happened. 

I will give a toast to Ray tonight.  Tried to visit him at the cemetery today but it wasn't plowed and the new car rides so low I won't risk driving up.  But I did stop and say "hi" from the road. - Jimmy
