An Unbloggable Life Update

Friends, this is a brief note to let you know that I love my husband very much, and that our marriage is not where it needs to be.  I recently moved out of the family home.

The issues are private, and they are also PG rated.  No abuse, no adultery, and no addiction.  Marriage counseling was had.

I've been slowly telling people the news, and the most common response is "I don't know whether to say sorry or congratulations".  The answer is neither.  Sorry would only apply if I stayed in the relationship as is, and congratulations is a little too flip.

Hubs and I continue to see each other and we had a family dinner to celebrate the end of the semester.  Hubs believes that our problems are fixable.  I am more skeptical but am certainly open to a reconciliation.  There is no time limit in place.  I assume that at some point the next steps will be clear.

I will not be discussing my marriage on the blog, since I am pretty sure that would not be helpful, but you will continue to hear about the bloggable parts of my life in more detail than you ever wanted to know.  In particular, I am dying to tell you about my new home.

Now to answer the question that everyone is asking right now: what about the dog????  Doggo has been staying with me, and will stay with Hubs for my upcoming trip.  After that we will figure out her custody situation.  All of our meetings include dog walks.

I turned comments off for this post, since there is really nothing to be said.  I'll be back soon with stuff to chat about.

The Great Alfred Hitchcock Rewatch: The First Five Movies

Sigh, it feels like such a short while ago that I decided to rewatch all of the Alfred Hitchcock moves in reverse order, and now four months later I have done it.  It is always a little bittersweet to reach the end of a journey, but it was such a fun voyage.  Let's go back to where it all began!
