October is at an end...
...and it's been 4 months since my last update. I guess my life quieted down a bit...and even if I've had thoughts that needed airing it's not like there are a lot of people who read me in here. Or anywhere really. So I just keep it to myself instead.
Life online has a way of diminishing for most of us. I know you're still out there, only an e-mail away but still too far to reach. As with everything else this is something I accept. We must all tend to RL and shift our focus at some point. As must I.
Work is good, but not as fun as it used to be since Sirikit left the company this fall to work closer to home. It meant I lost my creative partner and the one person who understands my sense of humor. I have lovely colleges don't get me wrong...the light's a little duller that's all. It seems I'm stepping into a different position since we had "Ladies Night" a couple of weeks ago, prior to which I'd busted my arse, (and everyone elses), to get the shop into shape. You see, we had a nationwide known stylist visiting for a lecture that night, and he was rather impressed with the shop. Which he told everyone. Very loudly. Thus I found myself with a sort of fan-club that evening, and have been making some house calls for customers because of it. My boss is happy. I'm a little incredulous. It makes a nice change tho.
Life at the range has been changing positively since spring. BA and Hallvard now lead the club and with me in the wings it goes splendidly. We have new members even off season and we got the crafting club on its legs this summer. We've been gathering at my place to sew and make arrows many times. (yes, even Hallvard.) We've closed the gap between us, tho we still keep each other at arms length. He doesn't treat me any different than the others and I'm happy for it. Perhaps that's as close as we can get...at least until he decides its time to dig through the muck and clear it away. I will not press it. I still love him as if he was my own flesh and blood, I doubt that will ever change. But this is also a way of living.
BA and me are also closer, but even if we cleared the air a long time ago we keep to some unwritten rules of what is acceptable topics. He and Hallvard formed a dueling club almost a year back, and it's become equally as large as the archery club. Fun stuff, but I'm not joining. Kriss comes there and since she seems to let me have the range to myself, on mondays at least, I'll be good and do the same for her. Besides, the boys might need a space where I'm not involved.
Wicy is in Japan, for a full year this time. She loves the university and is busy as heck. I miss her but there's no use in nagging about that.
Elli tries to take science and norwegian this year. There's a lot going on out there on ME-science, you might have heard that they isolated this reactive virus in ME-patients. Means we might look forward to meds which will enable her to live a fuller life. Ådne doing better at school and works one day a week at the local grocery store. He likes the diversion a lot. Sadly he lost his one friend over growing apart a month ago, but he seems to have gotten past that.
I had a tenant this summer, a girl from work. Randi. Very sweet, we got close fast. She moved back home in september, far south in Norway. She visited with me last weekend, t'was very nice. :) We had a tea-party for the girls at work so they could all get a chance to meet her. Hallvard likes her. She likes him. Saw this the first time they met...july I suppose. Sparks are flying. I think she'd be right for him...it would be a good match. It's scary too...in light of former events. I stay off. A friend of hers is moving into the room tomorrow. Helene.
I wish I could be a selfish bitch and just go away. But I don't know what I would do there.
Also I don't really feel so hot. Tired a lot. Going to the docs this week.
