(no subject)
I haven't been on this thing in FOREVER. I used to stop by all the time to read what my friends were posting, even though I was too lazy to post, but at some point even that stopped. Can't pinpoint when. Facebook just probably took over. But today is a slow workday, so I thought I'd stop by and even actually make a post!
I feel lots has changed/happened, but I definitely can't remember everything. The big things include I got a promotion April 1 which means I really don't have to travel anymore for work. I am so happy!! I've still been transitioning out of my old position, so the travel hasn't totally stopped yet. But it's a lot less and a lot more predictable at this point. I've been trying to take advantage of being able to have a life again and I've been going to the gym/dance classes regularly, I signed up for a sewing class in July, I've even been seeing movies with Chris! And I plan to actually do some theatre this year as well. Also looking for a good animal shelter/rescue group where I can do some volunteer time. I've just been so much more relaxed having more control over my schedule and my energy is slowly coming back as well (I used to always feel tired). Of course, it also means some adjustments for me and Chris. Neither of us is used to me being home so much and there are times when I'm just BORED and sometimes he wants to do things other than entertain me. Our fourth anniversary is coming up in August, and I feel like we're learning about each other all over again. It keeps things fresh for sure :)
The only downside to not traveling is that it's unlikely I'll get status for any of the airlines or hotels this year. I was just getting so darn spoiled and the idea of not boarding first or checking luggage for free is so weird to me. At least my current status are around until the end of the year. I also don't have as many points to spend on free vacations anymore, but it does seem a small price to pay for happiness.
I think Pippin also enjoys me being home more--he's just the best darn puppy! He likes to sleep under my desk when I'm working :) So how are you all?
