Tower Of Babel

Well, good morning all…I got the message Mad Bull ok, here am I!!! First off let me apologise for my absence, but I have a good reason (at least I think so).

Recently, I realised that I was pregnant and have since been quite sick - the usual queasiness, tiredness etc…adhering to my obgyn’s instructions, I’ve been a couch potato and in bed the majority of the time - not much fun, but I usually end up in front of the TV. I have to admit that I ADORE reading my favourite authors who at this time haven’t put out any new hardcovers - oh well, they’ll come around I’m sure, so for the time it’s just the TV.

I finally got around to logging on to the PC and had sooooooooo many messages, it took me a while to sort through..when I encountered messages from Mad Bull and Dr D asking when will I post a comment - so here I am.

I read Seven’s story about ‘having or not having children.’ It was a good read as it always is with her. I wanted to add that I met my husband Marc Antony for the first time in 1980 - I couldn’t stand him then…he and his siblings were visiting Ja for a summer holiday; cousins of my next door neighbour Ivy. Again, I met him in March 2000 when he came for another visit and stopped by his cousin Ivy who admitted invited me over for a set up - which I hate! She made me feel bad by saying ‘if you called me I’d have come over for you.’ So I went and not much happened, as I think that Marc Antony realised my reluctance to go anywhere with him (I just came out of a 6 1/2 year relationship with a man whom I was to have married and had some mis(haps)…another story there) so I wasn’t in the mood for love per se!!

Anyway, Marc Antony and I got together and he asked me to marry him six (6) days after our reacquaintance and I accepted and here I am now living in Boston and quite preggie! This change was quite big for me as I’ve never even considered living anywhere else except Ja - I still have my General Insurance Agency there and most of my family, too. I can’t tell you how much I miss Dr D and my father, not to mention that our wedding took place a month and a half after my mother’s passing… it was quite the whirlwind.

But happily, things have settled down and I constantly think of what I’d be doing if I were in Ja…I know what I’d be doing, I’d be going to work everyday as always, but since I’ve been here I just got my social security number and work permit and am now able to get a job, but Marc Antony wants me to remain home especially while pregnant, so does the obgyn for that matter…life changes a lot even before being pregnant, you just have to adapt or get lost! It’s good to have the security of a partner or someone you can trust and talk with and explain all your thoughts and insecurities - there are lots of people out there who are the same, as well as, different - takes a lot of us to make a world!

I never thought I’d be here at this stage of my life….always thought I’d be in Ja..I so love it there - it is the best for damned sure. I was married before in 1989 - what a disasterous waste of money, time and youth…won’t even go into that!

I have to say that being with Marc Antony is the best thing that’s ever happened to me for a long, long time. He’s a really cool guy - he’s really smart too…he has a degree in Engineering and another degree in Engineering Physics and is currently doing in Masters…as for me and the studying again? I just don’t think so. I so admired my bro Dr D - he is the standard when it comes to studying and keeping your nose to the grindstone…anything you want you truly have to work for it.

Not to worry Seven, if it is to happen, it will…Remember I am now 36 years old - older than you…did you forget??? If it can happen to me, your time will come if it is to be..don’t let anyone ask you about your weight or about you in general - it is in such bad taste, so impolite - typical J’can style!

Well, let me end by saying that I don’t know when I’ll be posting another epistle like this one and I hope that I didn’t bore you all too much and hope that I’ve been forgiven for my absence…it was a good reason as I told you previously!

Dr D, Seven, Mad Bull and of course, Natty - God bless you all and take care until I hear from you again. I love you all.

By the way, Marc Antony sends his greetings…he is just so happy about our impending…..
