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.

You're back! Apparently you do still have readers because I just checked your blog while tidying my bookmarks and there you are.

I started a blog too: http://parallaxknitting.com/, but please feel free not to read it if knitting bores you.

Let me know if you come to Saskatoon. Shall I start sending you job ads? I could show you around, and it is in Canada.

SO glad you are back! I've missed you dearly. My life is sort of settling in, and you being back and writing on your bloggy blog blog (like sunny sunshine sort of) is just the icing on the cake. Does that sound pathetic? Basically, you were part of my routine. And, you're a good writer. Miss you!
