(no subject)
I am a terrible blogger.
When I started my livejournal I had much more time to spend and waste in front of a computer, and even afterward, when I didn't have the time, I always made time to post every detail no one but me cared about. But for the last year, I've been completely remiss and hardly every posting. Big, fun, happy things and big, scary, sad things have been happening off and on, and I mean to post, but I never get to it. It doesn't help that I no longer have a job that allows me to be in front of a computer consistently throughout the day to post every time I have a thought. Still, I _like_ blogging, even when no one else cares. And I like being able to go back and say "Hey, that's when I did that! That was fun!" So I'm going to make an effort to chronicle more; and hopefully it will be interesting.
Many things have happened over the last few months; graduation/birthday/holiday parties, amazing engagement, work highs and lows, my birthday, Tiger Lillies concert, White Elephant shows, Thanksgiving in Virginia, shopping on Black Friday, decorating, shopping, sex, reconnection, arguments, and more. I'd love to say I remember exactly everything and when, but I don't. Still, it's been a full and generally good several months. And now we're approaching a new year and this time 2009 I want to be able to look back and read about everything I did. Maybe not the toothbrushing and dishwashing, but everything else.
As of now, I'm in the Atlantic City Medical Center. As I'm sure most of you now know, Michael's father is in the hospital and has been since Tuesday evening as a result of a head injury. While we started at critical condition and unconsciousness, he's now awake, talking, walking around, sitting up, and complaining constantly about wanting to leave while refusing to eat hospital food. So it's an upswing! He's being moved finally out of ICU today and after a couple of more days will hopefully be able to go home. Now that things are out of the woods we're enjoying the rest of what we can of the holiday season and looking forward to being able to try out the brand new Wii my mom got us fro Christmas. I'm very anxious to get to a Gamestop so I can continue to stock up on games and accessories to go with.
Took me four days but I finally thought to bring my laptop to the hospital so Genevieve and I can now take turns online with minimal restrictions (since the hospital computers block almost everything) and playing DVDs and games. Also, they finally turned on the cool air in this waiting room so it's downright cozy.
Anyway, I hope everything had a really great Christmas. For me it's bee a great reminder of how much doesn't matter and how much the important things really do. I love all my friends/family and thanks to everyone who's been supportive and interested.
