Everywhere is nowhere

A work-aholic who is sometimes trying to get better has pretty much gotten better, because the universe required it. I used to travel a lot for my job on long-term assignments but am full-time in my office now. Mostly, anyway; there are still occasional short-term business trips. I finally (surprisingly) took a step towards stability (or adulthood or both) by buying a house. Even though it's been 5+ years, I'm still struggling a bit in adapting to life as a home-owner in suburbia. I am owned by 4 cats, and someday would like to have a couple of dogs. My father died in late 2010, and I'm now adjusting to life as an adult caregiver to a mother with mostly mild dementia, which is going much faster than any other adjustment because I have no choice but to deal with it. Mainly I ramble on about a lot of nothing. And occassionally, there are pictures. Am trying to remember what people do with life when not working or dealing with family.
