Today is my Father's Birthday. He would be 91 years old. It has been a long time since he passed away but like a little girl I still want my Daddy and miss him alot. Happy Birthday Daddy... I love you!!!!!!

I have been gone since Saturday. Plans to come home yesterday turned into 3 naps while watching the inauguration and eating too much left over food from the trip. It was relaxing and quiet and just getting back here, I find myself missing the solitude and not being drummed about or into too many things at once. Life is meant to be taken slow.

I am trying to put all things into perspective right now after being so disappointed on Saturday morning. I have to go back to Social Security and that means an all day affair. They are conducting a full investigation. The thing I feel the worse about is that I was deceived by someone whom I thought I could trust. But isn't that just what I have been going through with Roger or have been going through since the beginning?

If I could have one day of the last eight and half years to relive- knowing what I know now-would I make the same mistake? Would I chose to pursue him still? Would I allow myself to be hurt again? I probably would. That's what love does to me, anyway.

So today, in lieu of a meeting, I am going out to dinner and pouring my heart out to a friend of mine. Two hours of nothing fancy and just plain fun. I can't wait, actually.

So that's it for now, my friends. I have to run. Peace, love and harmony to you all.
