Howdy bloggers,
Now I know for a fact no one reads this. I get to say whatever I want. Its been a little over year since I last posted and a few items have changed. Let's talk about health shall we?
I mentioned in my last post about having a leg fracture. Its pretty much gone, Im about back to normal. I was advise I may never been totally the same again. That was back in April of 2015. The possible diagnosis of Glaucoma is still being watched for, I have new doctor who specializes in the disease so that I can get a more accurate prognosis of the situation. Many of you might not know but Glaucoma isn't a quick diagnosis so it will take some time before I will know more. Its usually treatable and preventable after diagnosis. So as far as my health goes I still have it. I continue to work out and managed to increase the size of my .... well everything. Im not the same shape as I used to be. Also I feel better. I took today off an feel guilty. My absence in the workout arena was only caused by the computer's death.
My Macbook I bought four years ago died over the last weekend. I took it to the Apple store and they diagnosed it with a damaged hard drive. I returned again to have them to back up my music. Its the only thing I didn't load on to Google Driver. While I haven't a lot of music, it still came to 11GBs or so. I have priced it out and its cheaper to repair the current computer than buy a Chromebook. I've decided to not to purchase another Apple product because they way too expensive and I don't need all of the functionality. I have a replacement hard drive on the way as well as a new track pad as one of the dogs destroyed it. Im Currently typing this out on the macbook I bought back in 2008. The parts to fix my macbook purchased in 2012 arrive on Friday.
In My last post I talked about getting Married. That will not be happening. After a long conversation with Ethan, Ive decided that it will not be happening any time soon. The discussion came in November, the details in full as to why it came out will remain between me and Ethan but nonetheless there will be no wedding. The overview is that he and I are not on the same communication frequency. Several years ago another major conversation took place about our expectations of the relationship. Oddly we took away the exact opposite message. This hasn't been the first time our wires have been crossed. It seems like we often are not on the same page. In either case, I could tell he wasn't really happy with my decision to not get married but he didn't seem to be phased by my decision which tells me maybe he was in tuned with how I felt. In the end we hired a friend lawyer to make the needed paperwork available so that in the result of one of dying the other is safe from the other's family interfering with life, liberty and property.
Let's move onward to work. I am still at the software company that I worked for a year or so ago. I'm totally bored with my job but I have to admit that this place affords me basically the ability to do whatever I want (within the law). Sometime I leave for extended periods to go do random errands, and I have unlimited Sick time. I also am rarely questioned about anything I do. It kinda scary really but as far as I can tell I do not have a lot to worry about. My instincts still tell me to beware. Our company has dealt with layoffs and cuts in the past. So who knows what will happen in the future. Technically with my salary being as much as it is, I could always do unemployment and still live off of it, if it came down to me being laid off. I have been bombarded with emails about new jobs in my field. Part of me wants to go explore other opportunities, but again this current job has ALOT of flexibility. We can move on.
I've been on a model building frenzy for months. Nearly a year now I have made over one thousand dollars selling kitbashes, and regular completed models to people on ebay. Overall, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Last summer I was making more money an hour selling kits on ebay than at my own job. Lately, I have been making models to keep my sanity even though michigan's winter has been very warm.
Its a wrap
