2005 -- an update
Two of my kids are having problems in school. The oldest, who had to re-do seventh grade all over again, is doing very well, thank you!
My construction is over. The cleaning has begun. My new apartment looks lovely, but I believe I am going to have problems with envious ex-husband once the moving is done.
I have started going out more and had occasion to practice the long lost art of flirting. Boy, I am rusty.
My big boss's dad died, and we were all shocked and worried with the developments
Dorinha, the new maid, seems to be adapting to her new situation. I seem to be adapting to her.
My school project is doing well. I have had good help from our movie critic.
I became a kind of class's pet after I put up a homepage for our post-graduate course (http://seculo20.multiply.com -- it is in Portuguese, but you can look at the pictures if you wish). I have made a few friends in class too, among my classmates and also with the teachers
I have renewed my friendship with people I hadn't seen in years
I think that the person that I really liked and that stopped liking me didn't really stop liking me, but has weird ways to demonstrate
I have never been so short of funds in my life, since my ex-husband don't pay the children support since January.
My doctor thinks I am improving. He believes that the key to my treatment is people.
I still have insomnia.
I have some good days, some bad days, I am still very vulnerable, but I am learning to stand by the things I believe even if it cost me points in popularity with people I love. I am starting to think that if they don't love me for what I am, then they don't love me at all. And that is not my fault.
I have improved my relations with my parents. Grandmother's death seemed to have made mother more pliable.
I have improved my relations with my kids. I feel like we have now a close knit family unit here. For a working single parent, this is quite an accomplishment.
I am still counting the days for my blessed break. I am tired. I want to laugh a lot, be silly, and meet again some of my favorite people in the world.
