I pm-ed you way back when, but I never got back to forum posting like I needed to / meant to, big slacker that I am. i had fallen off the face of the forum when you hit me, and I failed to fall back on because I suck at simple human stuff like that sometimes (coughfrequentlycoughcough) Between work life and family life, I was on a low social media diet to keep up with it all...and that part worked, because boyo safely navigated to Japan and settled into his ship - it never occurred to me how many simple "adulting" things like finding a concierge desk when you're lost in a foreign airport, or purchasing a cell phone & phone plan or finding a church service, or booking a hotel room, AREN'T simple when you've never done them before. Loooooottttssss of hours texting at 2-3am because he forgets about a 16 hour time difference lol. Also got the princess through her freshman year ON THE HONOR ROLL thank you(!), and survived what might possibly be some of the WORST (Heavily edited, and yes, that bad.) class parents without quitting or developing a drinking problem. Quitting was actually on the table, but they had my back and gave me a raise, and I'm still there, so apparently I got over it lol. Got dug out of the blizzard, and then it started raining and melting at the same time and half the state washed away in the floodwaters. Rebuilding a LOT of roads & repairing a LOT of bridges this year. Had our last (fingers crossed knock on wood) snow a couple weeks ago...next up is fire season!
And drivers ed.
May revisit the drinking problem option... Sorry, I somehow deleted most of my PMs awhile ago and didn't recall. And yes, alcohol may have been involved. Good to hear boyo is doing well on his adventure!
