Je suis retournee
Hello, everyone.
It has been 5 months since the last time I posted in my trusty livejournal, which I have had since I was a MINOR. Just a CHILD, y'all.
Why? Lots of reasons.
Namely, I now do a lot of Web 2.0/social media stuff at work, and it's all I think about all day. Coming home to decompress doesn't involve a lot of computer time for me.
Also, when you're not in school anymore the days can acquire a certain...sameness. What did you do today, Ruth? I went to work, came home, did more work, watched some TV, worked out, hung out with Morgan/friends, went to bed. Repeat. It's my life and I'm enjoying it, I just don't know if the particulars are really interesting to me.
But I've been gone too long. I use LJ to keep track of people who are important to me, and for not checking in with you, my friends, more frequently, mea culpa.
Lately I have been swinging in away from a productive/task oriented side of myself, and more toward an artistic/ADD part of myself. In some ways this will be good (more art/theater, more time devoted to getting me where I want to be, more LJ, natch), and in some ways it will be bad (loss of drive to work very hard at my job/diet and exercise plan). So we'll see where that ends up.
What is new with me? I've lost 30 pounds since December. I'm a size 8 for the first time since puberty. So that's pretty amazing, especially since a lot of it is from working out so I have more energy and still get to drink booze and eat cake from time to time. Things with Morgan hit our very first real, grown-up rough patch recently, and for only the second time in our 4+ year relationship, we almost broke up. However, some things that had NEVER gotten talked about, got talked about, and I think we're stronger for it. So that's good. Things with work are good, very busy but productive and career...y.
I missed you guys.
