Introducing Myself
Aug. 6th, 2019 03:15 amOooooh I hate this part! So since it is so very late, I’ll just say that I’ve had a journal at LiveJournal for about 15 years. So much has changed that I feel a bit safer here... and most of my LJ friends migrated here. It gripes me that I just paid a year membership there right before joining here, and I can’t afford a year long membership here.
Hope I can pick u some knowledge about how DW works soon. I do have an account here from some years back but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was called!
Ok. Getting sleepy 💤 at last! Before I go, I’ll tell you that I am a night owl and have been such my whole life, starting early in life. “You can take a child to bed and tuck him in, but you can’t make him sleep!”, I always say. Well, first time I said it was just now but truth anyway. And I always get motivated and clear headed and charged up at about 10 or 11 PM. Ridiculous, I know, but whaddya gonna do?
I’m 62, married to a 68 year old Englishman who moved to the USA to be where I lived when he was 50. Starting a new life at 50! Long story, but he is most impressive. I have 2 adult biological kids both at the 40 mark or almost there. I have an adopted intellectually disabled who I have loved and mothered since she was ready to leave the hospital after her birth, 31 years ago. She has come SO far, but does still live st home with us.
We have 2 black cats and one ginger one. All male. Two small dogs, a Chiweenie and a Shih tzu, both male. Two parakeets, one female and one male or trans.
I am disabled, confined primarily to a motorized wheelchair, but I love to go outside and “drive” on the country roads near our home, and shoot lots of pics of local wildlife such as deer (have seen one born in our back yard!), bear, skunk, turkey vultures, wild turkeys, herons, cranes, coyote, well, a bunch! And that’s not even mentioning (but I am mentioning them) the gorgeous views of the oldest mountains on the earth— views that change every 20 feet you drive. I used to be a psychotherapist - a grief and trauma resolution specialist- for over 30 years. Now I am focusing on creativity of all sorts.
We live in a tiny town in southwestern VA in the Appalachian Mountains, which is like being in a different country. Been here for 15 years, both of us were city slickers. It took a huge adjustment and cultural shock, but we love it here now.
Nice to meet you— hope you’ll let me know you dropped by!
