News At Last!
So many things have happened since I posted last that I hardly know where to begin...
I suppose I should start by making an apology to everyone who has ever felt worried about me during the last three months or so. I didn't mean to worry you, I've just had such a lot on my plate lately that I didn't get around to looking at LJ at all (mostly because I have no internet connection at my house). I didn't know what people were saying until I worked out how to connect to the internet via my phone. Then I read some concerned comments and decided I MUST update. I really appreciate the fact that people care enough about me to read my journal and to think about what is happening to me when I am not posting. You're all lovely.
Anyway, here goes with the news.
I mentioned a while back that I was going to get a divorce and since then I have taken the even more dramatic step of actually packing my bags (stuffing Brandon into one of them) and leaving home. I didn't sneak off in the night (I told my husband I was going) but it still felt incredibly adventurous to leave behind my home of so many years and to move so far away...Because, you know, Manchester IS far away. Far away from Brighton anyway. Not far fromunimag though. In fact, Brandon and I live just down the road from Unimag now, in the Longsight district, recently described by the BBC as being part of "Manchester's murder triangle". Blimey. If I get shot you can all link back to this entry and go "OMG!!!1!! she predicted it herself!!11!". So anyway, yeah, I'm living near Unimag. Super sleuths, psychics and plain old gossips amongst you will now be patting yourselves on the back (yes, you will too Cindy). This is a public entry, so I'm not going to get graphic on your arses about my relationship with Unimag but suffice to say that we share much warmth under the cold, grey Manchester skies and we are both very happy that I am here.
Brandon like Manchester very much. He likes the area, he likes the wide ethnic diversity and he likes Unimag's Mum...In fact the pair of them are inseparable and share gossip, laughs, food and puzzle books like they've know each-other forever. I'm really glad they hit it off, as it means they can amuse one another whilst Unimag and I watch back to back episodes of Babylon 5, in PEACE. Cool. Tomorrow Brandon goes to visit his new school. I'm not sure how he will survive in an inner-city Manchester state school, after nine years in a very expensive posh Brighton school...But we shall see. Keep your fingers crossed that he is tougher than he looks, or funny enough to settle in unscathed. I expect it'll be OK.
I should go now but I will be back soonish, with some amusing entry or other. I can't check my comments as often as I'd like but I will certainly deal with them all in time. I may even be able to get my head out of my own bottom and read some entries by other people. Face it, I need to get my own internet connection soon, even if it means selling Brandon to the Gypsies. Meanwhile, I'll be trying to keep things going from Unimag's PC, bless him. And he's going to kick-start his LJ again too...Because he is a genius and he can't leave it dormant. So look out for that.
Whew. I guess that's enough news to be going on with isn't it? It had better be, I can't do stuff like this every three months, even to keep you lot amused!
