Well…. Annie, thanks for giving me that push. I keep thinking about all of you very often. Somehow I have not managed to sit down and write.
Life is going on, as it must and as it does no matter what. Things are good in some ways. I am enjoying my new job. Getting to learn a lot. There is too much to do. The days and weeks and months are flashing by. I am exercising on and off. I have the gym membership yet. So do go there. But I am so tired.
I have been thinking of adoption lately. Getting a kid for a single parent is not easy. And after that it is still harder. Apart from the soceital hassles which are huge in a country like mine, the administrative hassles are enormous. I don’t have any clue if anything at all is possible without a father’s name - things like passports. Every step of life perhaps would need a lawyer or more. I need to have the strength and perseverence to fight it out everywhere. Maybe I will prevail eventually and I don’t know what that will achieve after all.
Anyways, that’s me - a bit exhausted and a lot confused. Lots of love and good wishes to you all. Take care. Be well.

Welcome back Ms. Ini - if only for a moment it’s so good to hear you again.
I’m glad that you are moving along and thinking about kids. I am going for a hormone test on my next cycle so we’ll see if I can have my own child (through a sperm bank) as well as my future goal (after I get a house) of adopting a young adult and/or a child.
I’m sorry to hear about the struggle that you will have in order to get to your goal. It’s unfortunate that a man makes everything so much easier. At a time where women should be recognized for our intelligence, contributions to society and compassion - it’s a crying shame that you have to face these additional obstacles because being a single parent should be challenging enough.
Yep Ini, you’ll have to fight for what you want and I admire you for it. Your child will admire you for it as well.
I wish you the very very best in everything! Please visit often and keep in touch as you are missed.
Be well dear

Been thinking about you, too Ini. I hope you are well! We’ve all been a little subdued around here lately, I sense. Like you say, life goes on and you get caught up in it and the next thing a few months have passed. Still, it’s kind of nice to think we are friends out there in the world for each other, even if we’ve never met!
Take Care,
RubyJean xoxoxoxoxox
