Personal update - R-pod Owners Forum

Sorry to hear the bad stuff.. vibes and prayers sent..

I mentioned a few months ago that I've been staying active in my admin role here (like approving new members), but not keeping up with posts or posting much myself because of other things going on in my life. Mostly a kitchen remodel which I've been doing a lot of work on myself. Then I was in vacation mode over the summer with two vacations, including a cruise and then trip to SC to see the eclipse in totality. That was awesome.

In more recent months things have turned a bit darker for me. Namely, the beginning stages of a divorce that I didn't see coming. This has been most unfortunate for my two teenage daughters, but they have adjusted much better than I was expecting. I've adjusted to it, too, but I'm in uncharted territory. You could say the eclipse was a metaphor for where my life was going - a lot of excitement and then you realize you are in the dark. It will be a while before the light starts to reappear on the other side.

On top of this I needed surgery a week ago to repair a hernia. So not major, but still added stress and physical pain. I'm fortunate that I'm already back to normal with no pain. And with a lifting restriction for a few more weeks I have the perfect excuse to make my kids go get the firewood now that it is finally cold where we live. Wink

Many of you have been part of my extended online family for the last 8 years here, so, send a prayer my way if you can, or if you don't pray, send some good vibes. I appreciate it.
