Phew! Have I been out of the loop here! I realized that I haven't posted in what seems like ages, so I thought I'd better get off my tushy and do some writing. I promise to be more cheerful! Wink.

I've been hugely busy at work --what else is new, you ask- so I haven't had the energy to do much writing at all given that this is my busy season, which will be coming to an end soon. I am still caring for DD, who is still in quite a bit of pain even though his cast is off. he still can't drive, nor do much for himself, like cut his food, so he is depressed and frustrated a bit about all of this. However, he does push himself and last week he did a lot of house cleaning and yard work to help me, something which was incredibly sweet and generous of him.  He is doing some physical therapy at home, and has to see a physical therapist for professional treatment, only we just learned that my insurance doesn't cover it. Who decides these things? What morons, honestly. So now we are trying to figure all of that out, along with everything else, like selling the house and other miscellany. Never a dull moment in our lives, kids. But we push onwards.

Work is nuts, but good. I am oddly calm these days, especially considering one of my ranting days a few weeks ago. Boy, was I pissed off, but I flip out at least once during this time of year so it is normal and very much predictable according to Dream. I was evaluated by my bosses last week and the evaluation was actually good, but you know there is always some negative crap they have to add after they have given you a few pats on the head. My VP really has no clue what I do, and she proved it by some of the comments she made, but rather than getting angry I just went with it. No sense arguing. I was pleased with the basic content of the evaluation and that is what matters. More presentations were made at other meetings last week, as well, and I did well there --applause from the group -- a nice feeling, especially considering how much I dread speaking in front of large groups of people.

Beyond that life is fine and we are going with the flow...looking towards our future with new dreams and plans.
