It's been a while. Life has certainly changed since I've rejoined the ranks of the employed and resumed dating. There's just not a lot of free time available and what there is, it gets assigned to other things.
In addition, I've been sick a lot. I had to postpone my second interview with my employer (beginning of January) due to a bad cold. A few weeks ago I got a bladder infection which was followed immediately by another bad cold--this time of the chest variety. It's been over two weeks and I'm still coughing and have gravel-voice. Don't think I've ever had two colds so close together. Apparently, this one's making the rounds as my friend, Elizabeth, in CT has it, too.
This has been a very long day for some reason--probably a result of a lack of sleep. I've got to start getting to bed earlier. I'm stuck at work waiting for something to come from a subcontractor or rush hour to be over--whichever comes first--and writing this to help stay awake in the meantime. Most days I'm thoroughly involved in my job but it's tough when you're in wait mode and just want to close your eyes and sleep.
Will try to make more time for a "thoughtier" response in the near future. Either that or I'm going to cancel this account. No point having a blog if I'm not going to post to it.
On a parting note, it is interesting how much things have changed from the time I started it as Jon and Fon's trek from rags to riches. Haven't heard a word from Jon (thankfully) since I told him I preferred to change into "friend" mode--despite his many promises to always be in my life, yada, yada, yada. (My new guy is so much more clued in and "count-on-able"). And I've essentially given up on the idea of riches in place of basic security. Guess that's what they (whomever "they" are) mean when they say that the only thing you can count on in life is change. Hey hey!
Finally! :)
Glad to hear that things are going (kinda) well. Hope you get over all that ails you, and come back to posting more!
