It's getting close to the end of the month, so I guess if I'm going to update, I should do it now.
I've had some pretty major changes in the past year.
The bad:
I had H1N1 flu last November and the fatigue never went away. Now that it's been more than six months, I officially have chronic fatigue. It's not as severe as many - I haven't had to stop working, but I've stopped doing almost everything else.
The good:
My first nephew, Simon was born last December, and he is awesome.
The what-a-mess:
Last winter when he was visiting here, my brother cheated on his long-time girlfriend and oops! a baby resulted. She was born in late September and is named Georgia.
He and his girlfriend got married in the summer and he doesn't want anything to do with the baby (although at least he is going to pay child support). He doesn't even want to meet the baby.
The rest of us (his sisters and mother) want to be involved aunts and grandmother, respectively. It seems like the mother is ok with this, once the legal stuff about the support is done with. We don't know how long that will take, and we don't get to meet the baby until then. It's all very uncertain.
Whew! I've been trying to post a bit more, but I'm mostly lurky at heart. I'll keep working at it, though!
