49. My two words of the month

Things right now are changing.. and changing fast.. I feel like Paul and I are a a kind of crossroads in our lives right now with all of the significant decisions and outcomes that are soon to be... or not be... and I feel a real urgency, a real need for these outcomes to become reality, whether good or bad so we can stop living in limbo... and therefore, I guess,  my two new words reflect this feeling of helpless urgency...
