Wow.  It has been months.  Once my dad got sick in January my world kind of fell apart.  Spent a few months going through the motions of daily life, with him in Michigan and me in Illinois.  Thankfully my brother was able to be with him long term, but it hurt not being there.  Hurt like hell. 

In March, March 16th to be exact, he passed away.  14 days before his 62nd birthday.  More going through the motions everyday.  More hurts like hell.  More, really?  That just happened? 

Found my way to the cemetery this week for the first time.  So sad.  But peaceful, tranquil, a really good crying place.  I needed a good cry.  Have a hard time letting that out.  It was still hard there, but I tried to let it go.  

4 more weeks of work until summer vacation and then 7 weeks of my last term until fall.  Then hopefully I can rest some this summer.  Slow down for a few minutes.  I need it. 

Workouts continue without fail.  I switched gyms in March and it was the best decision I have made regarding my workouts in a longtime.  5 nights a week I am in the gym…without fail.  It is my lifestyle.  I love it.   I will NOT let it go…. 

I am glad to be back.  I missed this.
