Just Waving a Wing!

Happy Monday, everyone!

It’s been a whirlwind of a few months. Since the last time I checked in, some major events have happened!!

Let’s start with the bad news. Father Goose (aka my father) passed away on August 5, 2021. I wore a sombrero to his funeral, a fitting farewell for a funny father. My grandparents even put a picture of him in a sombrero on the poster board of memories they created. Big emotions: where the Silly Goose side kicks in, I guess.

While I wasn’t close with my father, I love him so deeply and mourn the possibilities that may have been. I had such big hopes of him being a good grandfather and have deep sadness in knowing that isn’t even a possibility anymore.

I know this is pretty sad news to put in a blog about laughter, but sometimes bad things happen, and it’s important to me that I stay real and honest with you all. Someday, I may even write a longer post about his death and the way I handled things, but I’m not quite ready for that yet.

TO THE GOOD NEWS!!

I got a promotion at work! I’m so happy to be working with such a great company and such great people. I love going to work in the morning. My days fly by. The people I work with are so fun to be around and enjoy my goofiness, for the most part.

I went on vacation to Cape Code for the first time. I went whale watching, caught a couple of fish, and got to see some of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever witnessed. The vacation was the week after my father died, so it was incredibly well-timed and relaxing.

Returning to work wasn’t as difficult as most people would expect. Everyone was happy to see me back, and I got to meet someone a little higher up in the company. That was pretty cool. I even got to work with this person on several occasions during their visit!

Basically, I got really busy and didn’t write for awhile. I know I say this every time, but I’ll say it again anyway: I’ll try to write more often.

Thanks for sticking it out with me, my flock!

As always,

STAY SILLY!
