I killed my facebook account and left a lot of "friends" behind in the process. I don't miss them. I don't need reminders of things I didn't want or couldn't achieve.

I reconnected this year with some friends. I don't think I lost anyone important... but I can gladly say I've recently gained a significant love interest. Someone older than me, experienced in the ways of the world, stunningly beautiful... flawed... but perfect for me. I've grown enough recently to accept my own shortcomings... and with that I've learned to accept others'. I always considered myself a patient person... and while that as mostly true there was always a thing or two I could not tolerate. However, I've gotten to the point where I can love someone else for their flaws and not panic because of them. I've come to value character... my woman is selfless, and though I think she hurts herself in being such, I will do what I can in support of her ventures. She deserves that much.

I'm living on my own for the first time in a long time... well, I have a room mate, but no parents or significant other living with me at the moment. It is odd to live in "the city". But nice as well.

Work is going well. I am a jack of all trades on the machines. I learn more every week. It's a boring job, but I would certainly not trade it.

My exwife remarried this summer. I know she needs the relationship so I'm not surprised much. It didn't affect me much until the last few weeks when my daughter started calling him Dad. I feel rather alienated. My step daughter (who I raised from age 1) calls him by his first name... but she calls me Dad. But my bio daughter (almost 5 now) calls him Dad. I feel that it's a cheap shot from their mom. I'd expect her to not allow the situation. It eats me up... just one more thing to bury inside though I guess.

My medical bills are killing me still... having cancer with no insurance sucked. I hope I can pay some of them down with my bonus and taxes this year. My room mate isn't much help with bills lately. Hopefully she'll be back to work soon and more helpful.

Oh well, off to bed. Work at one.
