Long overdue posting
Ok, I haven't posted in ages, so please accept my apologies. Life has been interesting, but good.
Another housing crunch is upon me, but a few options are being pursued. At this point, i intend to stay in King County; I am so much happier here, and my job market (should my current job go away) is up here as well. NO MORE PIERCE COUNTY for me!!!
The job is still going well. I am officially up for hire, as 90 days have passed, and my project lead is doing what he can to make it happen. In the meantime, I continue on contract
The greatly improved income has let me get essential things done on the car ( especially replacing the badly cracked windshield!), made Norwescon VERY comfortable for me this year, and even upgrade the computer to the point of being Windows Vista Compatible. A very kind Microsoft Fairy got me replacement Office software ( My copy of Office seems to have vanished during my move back to Seattle).
There hasn't been room to sew where I have been staying at, but May should provide opportunities to get more costuming done.
Dating has presented a surprise. I had been experimenting with match.com ( had a few dates, but nothing that panned out), and was about to ditch it, when I noticed someone who had looked at my profile. I looked at hers; she writes fantasy, wants to get into archery, has a degree in vocal music, and likes 80s music. We made contact & it turns out she goes to Norwescon, and performs at Camlann faire. Our first meeting was at Norwescon, and we are still dating. We keep finding more things we have in common, and what is different doesn't clash. Whether or not it blossoms into a relationship ( Yes, I hope it does), this is an amazing experience for me.
The kidney stone persisted past the first shockwave treatment, and so the VA is going to try it one more time before resorting to the laser procedure. The 2nd Shockwave treatment is next Wed.
I took the Landmark Forum ( personal development course) back in March, and its been a life altering experience. The forum focuses on putting your past behind you, creating integrity with honor for yourself & others, and learning how your past made you what you are ( and how you dont ahve to be that way).
I'm currently in a follow up 10 week seminar for the forum, and its kept the changes going. At the end of this month, I'll be taking the advanced course, which focuses on re-inventing yourself as the person you want to be.
Have a great weekend all, and I'll look into getting a more modern picture up of me.
