  • I'm still blogging...

    but not here.

    Yes. After a bit of a break, I'm back to sort-of regular blogging on my new blog.

    In fact, I just updated it today!

    In an attempt to get more traffic on my newer site - because it's lonely there! - I'm letting you folks know that I'm still there.

    (hint-hint)

    Have a good one, all!

  • Update

    Ok.  I promised @x_Naomi_x that I would post a blog entry and let folks know what is up with me.  So...  here it is.

    Not a lot has changed in my life, really. My BF still has the temp job at the place we hope will hire him full time.  I think he has to work for them for a year before they can hire him due to the rules.  So yeah.

    I still work at the same place and do the same job and the only thing that has changed is that the higher ups seem to want to treat us more and more like pieces of filth on the bottom of their shoes than ever.  But I'm not going to go into that here.

    I've been thrown for a loop recently with the news that my good online friend, Fish, who blogged here years ago as @SmellsLikeDeadLobster took his own life earlier this month.  He passed away on the 9th and I found out the morning of the 15th.  His family had a note placed on his Facebook page and I saw it that morning. 
    I spent the entire day crying - and trying to hide that I was crying from co-workers. It was horrible.  Then I went home and told my bf who...  well.  He was less than sympathetic once I mentioned that he committed suicide.  K doesn't understand depression and mental illnesses in general.  I seriously think that he believes it is all play-acting or something.  So, yeah.  I decided to ignore him and just go about my business.  I spent much of the weekend crying on and off.  I contacted a mutual online friend and she gave me his mother's address to send my condolences to.  I've still not been able to write her yet but have made myself promise to do so this weekend.  I've no idea what to say.  It's so difficult.


    In other news... I've started blogging at a new place: http://strangedaysandnights.blogspot.com/

    I'd love to stay here - and maybe I'll try to cross post on occasion  - but I think I need a fresh start. Feel free to stop by anytime.  I'll try to remember to stop by here to chat with you all on occasion.  I do tend to come back eventually, don't I?

  • Now what?

    K lost his job. (yeah - right after we purchased the new car.  Good timing)
    Anger issues, again, though this time he apparently didn't threaten anyone.

    But!  It's not him...  *rolls her eyes*  It's everyone else. 

    I let him rant.  When he calms down we'll talk.  I think I saw a glimmer of hope that he might actually consider that part of the problem might be him, though.  We'll see if he can see that.

    Seriously, though.  I don't know what to do. He's got to work on his anger problems or he's not going to be able to find anyplace to work for a living. People just don't put up with this crap anymore.
