So, it's been two weeks since I last posted. Oh well, baby-steps, right? A large part of the problem these days is that I find myself with very little to say. Either I am less irritated by life in general than I used to be, or I just have less time and energy to complain about things that I hate. A few items:
1) I keep having wedding nightmares. Every time I have a dream about my wedding, they become anxiety-ridden, sweat-inducing visions of my personal wedding-planning incompetence, usually because I'm late or have forgotten to do something important, like book an officiant or tell people where the wedding is. The other night I had a horrible dream that I went to get my hair done before the wedding and they did hideous things to it--dyed it an ugly orange-blonde, chopped it off, then permed it. Christ, it was ugly. The BF, by the way, is largely absent from these dreams. In fact, the actual ceremony does not usual figure into them in any way.
2) Um. Obama for President!
I got nothin'.

The triumphant return of The Misanthrope
Did you miss me?
Eh, don't answer that. So anyways, the last time I posted was in October, so here's what happened in the intervening months.
1) BF and I moved to Olympia at the end of December. We found a house here that's in a good neighborhood and is pretty OK for the two of us. It's old and not big, but much better than the one bedroom apartments that have been our homes for the past four years or so. On not-cloudy days it gets a lot of sunshine (or as we call it in cat-speak "sunny sunshine"), which the cat enjoys and which greatly contributes towards my mental health.
2) BF got a temporary job working with the state senate for the legislative session. It was not exactly his dream job and kinda sucks that it's only temporary, but it gave him a nice taste of the politico life here in Washington state.
3) Umm, that's pretty much it so far. We have a wedding photographer, so that's one more thing to cross off the list in the wedding planning. Now I just need a cake, some flowers, a candle or two, a sound system, and I'll be set.
So with the dreariness of winter being almost over and the dreariness of spring about to begin, I am embarking on a self-improvement plan which has three-fourths to do with the upcoming nuptials and a need to not look bloated in my wedding dress, and one-fourth to do with turning 31 and having yet another cycle of existential angst.
Here's what I'm going to do: lose ten pounds by my wedding, and commit to writing for one hour per week, not including blog posts, which I will also commit to writing at least once a week. The blogging is not so important to life but I miss it and it does help my writing in some small way, so I might as well keep doing it even though I'm well aware I no longer have any readers. Plus I miss my memes!
So, we'll see how it goes.
