So I've been pretty absent around here for a while. I don't want to go into the details but tonight the Better Half decided to call it quits with me. I'm pretty torn up at the moment and not ready to talk about it. I can't claim to be surprised as we've been, god how I hate the euphemism, "growing apart" for some time. I hoped it was something we'd work through but that was not to be.

I have to either find someone to move in here quickly -- unlikely with my less than friendly dog -- or I need to move out. I'll be okay but I'm still reeling since I thought I'd found my soulmate. Now we begin the long and tedious task of disentangling 16 years together. For now I'm a bit lost but I expect that once we get started on the joy that is dividing furniture, appliances, CDs, books, etc. that I'll have some structure to hang my life on.

I doubt that I'll be around any more than I have been as I expect to be pretty busy and more than a little bit stressed.
