I'm one happy lady!

Yes I am!

I have the wig now and I wear it every day like a good girl, but only when I have to go out. I can put it on without even looking in the mirror...although I always do because I like the new me ;) I even put on make-up and do my nails again. These may sound like little things to you but to me they are BIG.

Looking back, I have been depressed for a long time. And it always went between mildly depressed and severely depressed (that is when I say myself I am depressed :p ) but I feel I am climbing out now, on the way back to...normal?

The day before yesterday I was devastated when I heard about the death of Robin Williams. Seems like he was severely depressed and saw no other way. And I have to say: I could relate! But on the other hand: I have SO MUCH to live for! My kids, my beautiful and funny grandkids, my very sweet and supportive boyfriend...

My kids are tempting me to have a kitten. Sandro's sluttycat has just had her third litter and they are 3 really cute ones: 2 tuxedos and a tortoise. Of course I asked Dan because, well, I AM going to Chicago forever in about a year or so. And he is a dog person as much as I am a cat person :p  I would be bringing my kitty with me of course, so I had to know if that would go well with his dog Loki (a Cairn Terrier mix) but he is totally ok with it! He is even thinking about if he can give me an 'allowance' to feed the cat and take him/her to the vet to be vaccinated and so on. I would train the cat to walk on a leash with all of the travelling we'll be doing in the future. But I have 7or 8 weeks to make a final decision!

I called my aunt yesterday. She was just back from vacation and is celebrating her '25 yrs older than me' birthday next week. She said I would of course be welcome on her birthday but since I want to have a little 'serious' talk we decided I go after that. She said my new hair looks really good, that she's sooo jealous!!! Auntie and I share the same problem so she asked me to tell her all about it and show it to her when I go there.

And that'll be the first real try-out for the wig of course ;)  Over 2 hours train to get there and the same back again and wearing it all day!

I am really excited about going to see my aunt and uncle, they live so far away and the train is really expensive (well maybe not but for someone on my budget it kinda is). But we have such a tiny little family and about half of them live in the States! And my aunt and uncle are such amazing people, you really wouldn't give them their age. I already know that if my aunt would get wind of my wedding date, wild horses couldn't keep her away! Wish I could visit them more often!

A lot of news...well it seemed so to me ;) 

You all have exciting days like I am having!
