I was married for 20 years, and it was a pretty good marriage too, right up to the end. Which is weird to contemplate, I have to admit. But it has ended - or is in the midst of ending. With kids, there are a lot of details to work out.

Part of what led to the end, of course, was my presence here. I was looking for more, sexually, and I couldn't find it in my marriage. That's a bad sign, turns out.

I now consider myself single, but I'm still not looking for anything serious at all. The non-serious possibilities are intriguing, though ...

Starting a whole new career, getting separated from my husband and trying to keep my sanity.

I can knit a mean pair of socks!

I'm wearing hand-knit socks.

Books: I used to be an SF geek, but now I pretty much only read non-fiction. I have no idea why that is.
Movies: In the theater, I go to superhero movies with my kids. Other than that, my tastes range widely, from documentaries to Sacha Baron Cohen. Lately, I avoid the really serious stuff that makes you cry. I cry too easily as it is.
TV: I stream a lot of TV and watch it while doing other things at the same time, so I half-watch a lot of stuff. I fully watch Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, Call the Midwife, Modern Family and Community. I re-watch Joss Whedon shows. I am half proud and half horrified that my youngest can quote large chucks of dialogue from 'Firefly'.
Food: I like food other people have cooked! I am a pretty good cook, but I hate it, probably from years of putting stuff down on the table and have at least one child express utter disgust and then demand to know how I could have forgotten he hates chickpeas. After a while, one gets beaten down. When given a choice, I like seafood, all manner of asian cuisine (despite my inability to eat spicy stuff), middle eastern food. I can't think of anything I really *don't* like, except the spicy stuff.
Music: I have pathetic music tastes. I'm embarrassed to even mention what I listen to.

There's such a wide range of options, from air to my ipod - how does one chose?
Refrigerator, washer, drier and stove are high on the list, but that's not very exciting, is it? Electricity, clean water ... perhaps the questions isn't intended so seriously? I always over-think these things. Since people are not things, I'll not bother adding my kids (who, now that I think about it, I can *sometimes* do without).
Okay: sunshine and a good book (those go together), my laptop, a camera, knitting needles and yarn, comfortable shoes, the internet.

How the hell I got here - my wasted potential, how badly I'm fucking up my kids, what I'm missing out on.

What I am going to do next. So many possibilities ....

you are curious ....
