Changed jobs again. Now instead of working at a law firm/producing a movie/going to law school/raising two children, I'm working as a real estate marketing director/going to law school/producing a movie/raising two children.

Better hours. More challenges. Closer to home. More time to help promote the film that's released on November 7th. More time to exercise. More time to study. More time.

Contact information is the same -

Yahoo IM! YEAH. So far I only have my husband on my Friends list...yes I am pathetic. We use it to chat while he's in class. Yes, he's pathetic, IMing while in class. What can we say...we are 30 something, finding our place in life, parents and sometimes you use whatever time and tools you can just to have a conversation :)

It’s Complicated: Maybe.

This may seem sacrilegious to say but I did not like my husband the day he died. Or the day before. Or maybe even for most of the few weeks ahead of his death. I loved him, yes, but I did not like the version of him that I was living with at all. Not even a little bit.  I was hopeful that after he worked through the grief, and the mania, and the relapses that I could figure out a way back to the comfortable camaraderie we had for much of our marriage but that I also needed to be a realist and understand that I was losing a lot of my own mental health gains in this relationship and needed to protect myself.  This may seem insulting to the dead but when I bemoaned to my therapist that “I did not understand how spouses who actually liked their partners went back to work quickly after their death because I still feel somewhat disembodied by the whole thing” she said “It’s actually often easier for people that are in healthy relationships.”  I sat with that for a minute and sa...

Fifty.

  In my 49th year on this blue marble hurtling through space, I built myself a life raft. Or, more simply, I finally started building myself a life.  I uprooted my entire existence and, without a job on the horizon and a rapidly dwindling savings account, I moved to California. Now, a year later, I celebrated my 50th Birthday in a most perfect way. I took a day off from a job that I truly love. I spent the morning with my grandsons followed by a quick swim. Opened touching gifts and messages from friends and family. Went to a spa for a glorious massage and facial as a gift from my family. After turning into a puddle of goo, I tracked down a beachfront restaurant and splurged on a chilled seafood appetizer platter (was it made for 2 people…yes. Did I care? No. Did I eat it all? Also, yes.) Lunch was followed by a photo jaunt meandering drive up the coast while listening to an “Andrea’s Top 50” playlist from my BFF. This evening has been spent FaceTiming with my kids and now cud...

10 years, but not really

Today could have been my 10th wedding anniversary if my husband hadn’t killed himself.  But, to be honest, we never would have made it that long. I had considered leaving for several months, I knew I had to leave when he disappeared for a second time. I needed to get away from his addiction and mental illness for my own wellbeing. This is not to say I didn’t love him or wish that we could have had a long life together. I just don’t want to pretend that I’m grieving for a happy marriage. It’s a complicated set of emotions. I mourned the loss of my husband many times before his actual death. When he checked himself into rehab in 2016 — who am I kidding, when his daughters and I checked him into rehab — I prepared divorce papers. But rehab brought out the best parts of him, the parts that I fell in love with, and so, I threw those papers away, gave it another shot, trusted that sobriety might take hold and our plans of growing old together would work out.  What didn’t get address...
