God! It feels like forever since I've updated.
I've *meant* to update this almost everyday, at various times through out the day but by the time I get to a place & time when I actually *can* update I get busy with something else.
Between the darn lighbox that takes up my morning time (which used to be spend parked in front of the computer while I ate breakfast and slowly woke up enough to get to the point where I could shower without drowning to death). And then my evenings are tight, because I have only 2 hours between the time I get off work and when my boy & I get on NetMeeting to talk.
I can't wait until I'm done with this darn lightbox and I can spend my mornings in front of the computer again. :)
Life's been good. Slowly settling in to my new job. I'm really liking it. No overtime (or very little, and what I do have I get guaranteed comp time I can take at a later time), no travel (YAY!!!), and a much lower-stress job! :D The job's also a bit easier for me, so I'm really doing well at it. It's a nice change to get compliments and recognition for doing something well more often that I get criticized and chastized. In fact I haven't gotten chastized or criticized at all at my new job.
Home life is going good. Put up a birdfeeder on the balcony of my apartment. I can see it from the table & the kitchen sink! It's been LOTS of fun. :) I'm slowly learning to recognize the different birds that are coming to my feeder. I have all sorts of mats and things down on the floor of my balcony to try and prevent the sunflower seed shells from dropping down onto my poor unsuspecting/undeserving neighbor.
Personal life is going really, really good. The boy & I celebrate our 1-year anniversary this weekend! ::bounces:: We're going to go out to dinner. I'd forgotten, but *he* reminded me that we wanted to go out to dinner at the place where his brother & sister-in-law took us for our first date. :)
Eek.... running out of time! I still need to eat lunch & walk to the stationary store to pick out an anniversary card to give to m2! I wonder what else I should give him for our anniversary? I really should get him something, especially as how depending on the time he receives his tax refund a round metal object with a hard stone may be in my immediate future! :)
So, people, any ideas?
Please!
