No time to post entries last semester... it was the worst few months I've ever experienced in terms of utter lonliness, exhaustion (mental and physical) and extreme pressure/stress.

A major factor was all of my family was now in Austin, except me.  Coming home every day to noone to talk to or just knowing there's someone else in the home left an uncomfortable void in the pit of my soul.  I was miserable and Bob was miserable, feeling all my unhappiness at the situation which we just have to accept and live through until I can move to Austin.

The other problem was my study and commitments to Leos.  I really didn't enjoy my courses, one was mega demanding and the other one was just frustrating with little direction/guidance from the tutor. What a relief that's all over with.

The last days of 2007 were ended with a happy gathering of the family to celebrate an early Christmas before the boys went off to Australia/New Zealand.   Bob made Christmas special for me and distracted me from my sadness with a wonderful Christmas Eve night spent at Kemah.   Christmas Day we went to see "Golden Compass" and took Maria with us.   New Year's Eve was another non-exciting event which I missed again (third year in a row) falling asleep around 6pm in the evening!
