Catching My Breath

I don't have much free time to write since hubby left. If I weren't so addicted, I would probably throw in the blogging towel. I'm exhausted! Hats off to those who single-parent on a permanent basis.

To catch you up, here are some random happenings in my life right now:

• Everett's confused about his dad returning to the U.S. He keeps asking, "When will Daddy come back?" I explain to him that he's staying in America and waiting for us. Then he says with a worried expression, "How will we be friends if he never comes home?"...Sigh
• I got a haircut. I was terrified I would end up with a J-haircut, but had no problem getting a regular trim. In fact, I asked for 4 centimeters to be taken off, but the hairdresser chopped about 14 centimeters, just like they do in the States.
• Everyone in my office has suddenly taken an interest in me, especially the men (even those who only speak to me when they've been drinking). I'm not sure if this has to do with my husband's departure or my new short hairdo. Maybe it's because they think I got the new hairdo because my husband departed. Who knows.
• I found my wedding ring! (Yes, I know I didn't report having lost it, but I was in denial and worried about what hubby would think.) Just in time, too, judging by things at work.
• I'm having difficulties with taking over the cooking at my house. Anyone know some good, easy ideas for meals that don't require an oven?
