Important Info Meme
You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that? It's seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

10. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
1. Just had to give up my horse to a more experienced trainer... It was a hard blow. He was quite dangerous at the last trainer show I brought him to and it was the general consensus that he was too much for me. After working with him for a year it was really hard to let him go.
2. I had to close my salon. My parter and I have both been hit with a lot of life this year and we weren't making enough money. Not enough money means stress and not being able to pay for the mortgage. So we are turning the salon back into a basement suite. I have as of yet, been totally unsuccessful finding work.
3. Because of these big upsets I am currently floating and completely directionless. I am very depressed. Winter is always a downturn for me. All the plans I had going personally for this next year are on hiatus until things ground somehow. I need money, I need stability, I need a job. I need a PURPOSE.
4. Ian and I run The Viadrina Outpost, a medieval group based out of the Empire of Medieval Pursuits. We have roughly 30 members and have secured the use of a semi-permanent practice and event site in Aldergrove. We have been working for the past 2 months rebuilding the structures for this purpose and hope to be finished and ready to go for our first large event on the site, Ostara (Norse Easter) in March.
5. I got married in June. We had a night-time fire-lit ceremony. It still all feels like a dream that never happened. We went on a tour of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island for our honeymoon. If feels like years ago. It was my first real holiday. Sometimes I wish we never left that Island...
