Looking up

Wow, what an emotionally draining weekend. I'm so mentally tired that I almost couldn't get excited about some good experimental results today...almost. I'm hoping things will start to look up now, I've been down for so long. This year has been particularly trying. Last fall my now ex-husband left Memphis and went home to Portland. We couldn't make it work and, in the end, it was the best decision to be able to move on in our very separate lives. But still...it hurts. Thinking how things could've been, should've been, but then, how long can I pine away feeling sorry for myself? Life goes on, experiments occasionally work, people occasionally show their best side, a friend's shoulder occasionally catches your head on the way down...

My goal is clear, the path there is fairly dark and ugly, but only because I happen to look around from time to time.
