…stop apologizing for my lack of blog entries.
Seriously. It’s off my guilt list. I’ll write when I feel like it and you’ll LIKE it! =P
A million changes in the past few months but nothing is different. Time is flying by, but standing still. Know what I mean?
Christmas – ***** (5 out of 10 stars)
Not too bad considering I hate Christmas in general. Family was good, kids were good, gift buying wasn’t frantic, etc. I’ve felt bad about hating the holidays for the past 5 years since my Dad and sister-in-law were sick, and I figured I would like it more as time healed my wounds. But it wasn’t happening. And then Steakman reminded me that I have ALWAYS hated Christmas–at least since he’s known me and that’s been 19 years now. What a relief! Things have returned to normal for me, but I forgot what normal was.
Family – ******** (8 out of 10 stars)
Fine, fine. Everyone’s fine. The kids are cute, the siblings are good, and mom is good. The only reason it’s not 10 out of 10 is because I really miss my family that doesn’t live here.
Health – ******* (7 out of 10 stars)
My migraines are horrendous. Weather, hormones, wine, cheese, chocolate, sleeping funny, weird smells, the heating system, etc. You name it, it gives me a headache. Getting a full checkup is on my list of stuff to do soon. (Don’t bug me about it.) I also plan on investing in a Neti pot. Seriously.
Work – ***** (5 out of 10 stars)
Work is actually going very good — I would even give it 8 stars if it weren’t for one person who sucks any sort of confidence and relaxation I get from my job right out of me. My job minus this person would equal satisfaction with my work life. I got a promotion and a raise, and some excellent props, so you think it would all be good. But it’s just not possible and in fact, it is so NOT possible that my rating is down by 2 stars just because of this one person. I never want to say more than that because who knows who reads this. And I’m sure it would come back to haunt me in my eternal struggle to work without being micromanaged. Dude, I’ve been working since I was 15 — I’m pretty sure I got it. Am I jealous of people with different management to deal with? You bet I am.
Home – ******** (8 out of 10 stars)
We need to clean out that back room and set up our fancy vintage kitchenette set. Also, Grover isn’t doing so hot. He had some blood tests that may indicate cancer. But, that vet was so negative, I can’t bear to go back to her. We’ll have to get another opinion. He dropped 6 pounds since summer, but he’s eating fine now because we’re not making him eat his prescription food. He’s chowing down like crazy on the other food. Hopefully he’s putting weight back on. I don’t want to talk about it too much. We’ve had him for 17 years now, and Shacky for 15.
Friends – ******* (7 out of 10 stars)
The majority of our friends are doing great and I love ‘em. I don’t see many of them nearly enough. Hence the 3 missing stars.
Future – ????
Don’t know – but there’s some good shows coming up on TV soon! WOOOOOO! =D
