Pea update
Posted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 8:56 am
I asked her permission to share certain life updates here, and she said she trusted me to do so (Oh, cruel fate!)
She and Sting have parted ways.
She changed one job she loved for one she apparently loves even more.
For her 60th birthday, recently, she solicited ideas for things to do that she had never done. She made a list, and intends to do one of these a month, if not more. So far, they have been the easy-ish ones, like eating foods she "knew" she didn't like, and so never ate them before. She is updating her progress on these challenges once a week, on Mondays.
She also has a posting streak I consider equal to lb's, in some ways: every single day since November of 2012 (I think -- might've been 2013 -- either way, it's extraordinary) she has managed to post something for which she is grateful. She doesn't repeat, doesn't descend into glurge, and doesn't use these posts as a passive aggressive opportunity to attack someone or something. As with lb's streak, it's something I could never do.
Both her parents are still alive, although they need more care than she can give.
I think that about covers the major things.
