I do post updates to things. Just not here. Most of the updates I post about anything end up on my blogspot page. Just so ya know.

I had a birthday this week.
I've felt lethargic and ill lately.
My mood has been all over the place.
And I'm back to the same weight I was at after Melissa was born. Not good.
There are all sorts of reasons I could give for this, and there are all sorts of excuses I could make about it, but the truth is, I've let myself go. One might say to some degree ( Read more... )

 Let me just say what a pleasure it's been living in a house I OWN with natural gas heat. Quickie update: my husband quit his job (In this economy? you say?). At 29 he was diagnosed with hypertension and put on blood pressure medication. Work wouldn't let him slow down, and I'd rather be poor than a widow. So now he stays home with the kids (he's a ( Read more... )

Today would be the 34th birthday of my best friend in the multiverse, Kittie. It's been over 3 years, and it still hurts like it was yesterday. I keep wondering why I still miss her so much.

All I can figure is that ther is simply no one who has been or could be as close to me as she was. I have some moderately close friends, but none quite like ( Read more... )

I just had an interesting call with the good people at JoeNerd.com. I'm curious if anyone else has some experience with them, because I was apparenly on their list of people who had been referred to them by someone else. I think I may give it a try, see how it goes. Especially since I don't NEED full-time work. It would be nice to have a bit of ( Read more... )

Last year on the day before Valentine's Day my husband drove a load of potting soil through nasty near-blizzard conditions in Ohio so he could get it to a local greenhouse on time. This placed him AT a local greenhouse ON Valentine's Day. So he went inside and placed an order and the wonderful people even managed to deliver it to me that day. I ( Read more... )

I got a call yesterday. A very good call. It was from a recruiter at Robert Half Technology. He wants me to come an and talk to him about placing me somewhere for this work thing. Best part... he said one of the positions he wants to market me for is with a local school district. As in, the school my kids don't go to, but is just as close. Since I ( Read more... )

Just for the record. It does. We live in an 80yo house with a furnace that runs on fuel oil/furnace oil. Our income is too high to get traditional assistance in general. Our credit is too poor to qualify for getting the 550 gallon tank filled and then pay it over the course of the year. The minimum delivery we can get for our house is 125 gallons, ( Read more... )

Just for kicks, I ran it again...

I read silkblade's journal this morning, and decided that I really liked what she posted for goals (I'll let you look for yourself, as she copied other people's stuff, but it's all very good). What it boils down to is instead of setting impossible goals for the year, to consciously just do more. I have several things I really want to make sure I accomplish ( Read more... )
