A little update
Today's January 30th, 2017. So, it's been more than 5 years since the last time I wrote something here. And right now, I'm writing without editing, just scribble whatever comes to mind...
So, what did happen in 5 years? A lot.
My kids have grown. Clems is almost 16 years old and a freshman in high school. Koko's 26 and starting to make his way in the world. Husband and I are still together, well, what do you expect? I see no reason why we wouldn't be. For good or for better, for rich or for richer, until "debt" do us part! ;P
Clems is into archery, been three years that she's hooked on it. Good for her. And for us, too. At least, she's got herself busy with something healthy. She has won a lot of competitions already and the latest one, it happened in July last year, together with her team, they got the title Championnes de France, and this was held in Vichy, about 500 kilometers away from home, and of course had the taste of a bit of luxury in the hotel where we stayed, the Marriott.
It's been three months that classes started for Clems and to have lunch at home as what she used to do is no longer possible — her school is about 15 minutes drive from home and she's got a very tight schedule; not much time left for a decent lunch. So she's got no choice but to join her other classmates "indulge" with foods her school canteen serves. Problem is, now that she doesn't eat her lunch at home anymore, my days seem to be very long, I'm bored. Although my hubby's here every day to keep me company (he works from home, he's a freelancer), I'm still bored.
Honestly, I want to work again. I want my job, my old job. I even told my husband that I'm willing to work again even if it's for free. I terribly miss it. The interaction with people, the comings and goings... To be of service to them — giving them and myself full satisfaction. A bit odd? Nah. That's what you call, vocation.
