Yes, I've been Missing In Action for the past couple months...as far as the blogosphere is concerned anyway. But I'm back, bitches! Things have been crazy in the Life of Me, so in typical lazy-ass fashion, I'm going to do a quick list-style re-cap of the last couple months.
1. My last post was in May...the rest of May was pretty boring, except for the judgmental conversations and sideways sneers from my mother when I'd show up to the family cabin or other family gathering without my husband. More on this later.
2. My dad finally decided to have back surgery. Wait, let me back up 52 years: My dad fell out of a grain elevator when he was working construction at the age of 20. He fell on a pile of wood, the priest came to read him his last rites, he was whisked to the hospital where he was taken care of by a nice nurse who must have given him one helluva sponge bath because he married her. And obviously he survived that ordeal (the fall...marriage is still on, but I'm surprised that hasn't killed him to be honest with you). Anyhoo, my dad has had back problems his whole life, and now he has some kind of crazy pinched nerve thing going on and has to have major surgery to correct it. He went in for the surgery last week...we showed up to the hospital, he was prepped for surgery (gown, IV, the whole shebang), and then the surgeon came in to tell us they had to cancel the surgery because the autoclave broke and he couldn't be sure the equipment was sterile. My poor daddy. To overcome this speed bump, we coped with our usual - go up to the cabin and drink. So here we are, over a week later, and my dad is getting ready to go into surgery (fingers crossed) tomorrow.
3. My dog has taken to laying on her back while she chews on her front paws. It's a disturbing sight. I'm trying to get a recording of it, but she always catches me with my camera. Covert operation in the works.
4. Work has been nuts. Ass Hat has been...the same. I still hate everyone.
5. The gym!! Oh, the gym. Last week, I found a pile of long red hair in the shower; so much hair that I started looking for a human head rolling around. Seriously, with that much hair, there HAD to be head somewhere in the vicinity. No such luck.
6. The leading cause of divorce is marriage. Such is the case with The Hubby and I. We are calling it quits. It's sucky...but I'm getting through it. We've been officially separated for over 2 months now (living apart), but have been working through this difficulty for several months. It's time. Telling my family was difficult (but it finally shut my mom up) (sort of), but they have been really supportive. I'm also grateful to have a wonderful network of friends to help me through this.
Obviously, #6 is the main reason I haven't had time to write much lately. I'll do better. I can always do better. If you're still reading, thank you.

So glad to see you up and writing again! So sorry about your Dad's need for surgery, and of course, about your breakup. I'm glad you've got a good support network around you. Sending hugs and KICK-ASS! vibes your way.
