Where do you go to?
I’ve been rubbish. *hangs head in shame*
The problem with having so much going on that it consumes your life, is that when it’s over, you’ve got out of all those routines you were in. It wasn’t until I was talking to someone last night about how I miss knowing what was going on in some of your lives (you being the ones I know who read this), that I realised I actually missed the blogging thing. So here I am back again – hopefully to stay.
A brief summary of my life in the mean time:
I got a new job – Yay!
Unfortunately that meant I had to finish up everything I was doing and hand it over to disinterested people that made me feel like I may as well have not bothered doing any of it. People who, though, have subsequently had to have me back in to explain it again and whilst I know they will proceed to pass it all off as their own thoughts and observations – at least they know it’s not, and I know they know.
The new job is finally starting to take shape. It has been a long and protracted start involving police checks, training and bazaar security systems, but I have a desk, a computer, an ID badge and a vague notion of stuff I should be doing, so it’s all looking good.
In the middle of that was Christmas. My first one away from my family ever. But these are things you must do when you are part of a couple (apparently). It was a lovely day – I ended up cooking dinner, which was a bit strange and would have gone slightly differently had I known in advance, but we all ate too much and had enough left overs to feed a legion as is traditional.
Then there was new year, and the right choice was made I feel. We found ourselves a nice pub which has a local vibe although is located fairly centrally and stayed there. It felt like you were drinking with mates in your living room – only without the temptation to just put the TV on and fall asleep.
Then I was involved in running an LARP event. In the end all the players had fun, there were no actual deaths and the caterers & owners of the site would happily have us back. So we are counting it as a win and we are deliberately forgetting everything that may persuade me otherwise.
Now we are in full on wedding preparation mode. I may feel more up to commenting about this after the weekend. I may not.
So that’s me. Hope all is well out there. I’m going to spend the next three hours until h2b insists its too late to be on the computer, reading all of your stuff since November!
