I suppose it's time for an update.
1 year ago today I was in Maryland getting married. Man, this past year went by fast. Despite all the ups and downs of buying a house, moving, etc., I think we're doing pretty well. I wish we could do something nice for the anniversary but that doesn't seem to be in the cards. A nice dinner out would do fine if we had a bit more money this week. Hopefully I can figure something out.
My unemployment was short-lived; luckily it lasted only 3 days. I was worried because it initially took me 5 or 6 months to find a job up here. I started another temp job on Thursday through a different agency; at about this point Kelly can go scratch. I absolutely loathe the job, but I'll take it for now. Now I just have to figure out what to do about my unemployment claim; literally 2 minutes after I filed over the phone, the agency called me to tell me I was starting a new assignment the next day. Funny how that works.
We finally filed our taxes yesterday, and we're getting a decent chunk back, decent enough to be caught up on everything and still have a good amount left over. Perhaps a trip to the Thousand Islands is in the near future afterall.
Got some much needed yard work done last weekend and during the week. First time I've done any since November probably. Just don't have the time.
As far as I know, there is at least 1 camping trip being planned for spring. I have a few ideas in mind.
Perhaps the Dark Ages are near an end. We shall see.
However, a bunch of good stuff just happened. That usually means something nasty's just around the corner...
