The Beginning.. Not the end..

Its been a long time since i have wrote in this blog.. about 4 years. its insane how much can change in 4 years. i got divorced, my dog died, i moved to Iowa, had a hysterectomy, dated a robot disguised as a man named Haup, got a border collie named Waffles, lived with him, fell in love with someone else, made friends, lost friends, had good days.. and bad days. read books, comic books, maps, newspapers.. listened to music, gardened, went into a depression. got tattoos, acquired a banjo, avoided jail, attended domestic violence classes (based on a lie Nic told), lost everything, moved, started drawing and painting again. looking at this old blog makes me realize how stupid i use to be. i am sure i will be saying that again in a few years. 
 this list is not in order. so much has happened that i am really not sure where to start. i guess i should start at the beginning.
