Who knows how it will go in the end...

In my attempt to reclaim my life, I have faced a few set backs...

Tom Buchanan packed his belongings and we prepared for his departure. And then we found ourselves on a plane...me, Tom Buchanan, Wall, and Princess. We were headed to a winter wonderland for a funeral. It was a difficult trip for many reasons. We were civil and played the part of happy couple very well, we just didn't say a whole lot to one another.

We returned home and moved forward with our plans. When Tom Buchanan packed his last box and headed to West Egg, I knew life was forever changed. I wasn't prepared for the way in which it changed.

You see, Tom Buchanan left that morning with the intention of returning the next weekend. I spent the morning trying to figure out how to explain the (not so) sudden change to the kids. While trying to make it through some meaningless daily tasks, I saw a random posting. Tom Buchanan was packing up his office.

WHAT THE HELL???

You see, Tom Buchanan has just been laid off. And with that information, I went into survival mode.
