Oct 2014

In the first half of 2011, I had the dubious honor of being dumped by text on my birthday when I was halfway across the country on a job assignment. Two weeks later, my beloved cat had to be put to sleep (I was still halfway across the country) and I never got the closure or had the chance to say goodbye. I knew it was coming (he was almost 18 and in poor health) but it still hurts.

This year I had a string of bad professional decisions (hindsight is always 20/20 and I would have taken the other path if I could do things over again) and I've been battling depression. Top that off with losing my grandfather last Christmas.
