I wonder if anyone is still reading?

I’m back from Georgia.  I didn’t write while I was gone because I had limited internet access and I’d rather spend my internet time catching up on what’s going on in the lives of my blog family.

Georgia was pretty cool.  Savannah is my mother’s family’s home and I have never gotten a chance to see it.  I could see myself living there (but Coach won’t leave Chicago).  My unit was there to train soldiers heading overseas.  There is nothing more sobering than to know that the work you are doing may make a difference in a soldier’s survival.  Alot of times, we take our training for granted but to know that these guys are heading into some real stuff, you stand up and make sure you do whatever it takes to make them ready.

I need a vacation.  I got back on Tuesday and went back to work on Wednesday.  I’m suffering from some issues that I have never shared with my blog fam so we are about to cross a barrier today.  I have not had sex in over a year.  My sweetie has some medical issues that have caused issues in the performance arena.  Of course I didn’t know this when we first started dating and I was already in love with him when the problem got worse.  He finally went to the doctor and is under treatment but of course I came home with expectations that things would be improved.  You guys don’t know just how much I love this man.  But it gets hard to not get my needs met.  Feeling guilty because I am frustrated, hating to see him in emotional pain, wishing I could just make things better, it drains me (and him too, I’m sure).  I got him some sessions with my trainer, hopefully exercise and weight loss can help get the blood flowing in the right directions. 

My neice is college-bound next year so I told her I would take her to New Orleans to see Xavier.  She is such a wonderful princess and of course I would love for her to follow in my footsteps.  No pressure, though.  Really, no pressure.  I want her to go to a school where she’ll be happy.  She hated her high school but she knows that she got a quality education.  This time, as long as she finds an accredited university that will provide her with a solid foundation, the choice is hers.

The weight loss thing is slowing down right now.  I’m looking and feeling much better.  Getting home has been a trip, I have to get to the grocery store to pick up some healthy lunch stuff and snacks.  The man in my house is a brownie baking, pizza eating, fast food aholic and i can NOT go back to my old ways.
