I've been astonishingly slack at updating. Sorry folks! A good many of you I chat with online or see in person, but if you've been wondering why I dropped off the face of the internet ... well, I didn't. I just went kinda quiet.
Life's trundling along pretty well.
~ April was a hard slog, as we had our NZQA audit at work - and passing said audits is pretty much my responsibility. It was mightily stressful and there was a lot of work prepping for it (and no recognition or thank you afterwards. New management sucks). Still, we did quite well, and I'm satisfied with the result.
~ I'm continuing to look for work that I can do from home. Help? Up to 30 hrs a week, and I don't mind going in for an occasional meeting.
~ Al's still deteriorating, slowly. He spent a week in the hospice for respite, which he and we all appreciate.
~ My migraine is relatively stable, but not improving as I hoped it would after getting rid of my mercury fillings. Still, I'm able to do 5 hr days at work with reasonable regularity.
~ Ben and I are having a good time downloading and watching the latest eps of Battlestar Galactica, Lost, and Dr Who. It's nice keeping up as they play overseas, so I can participate in various discussions online.
This May will be nine years since mum killed herself. That's nearly a third of my life. The first half of the month I am cautious about, as I don't know how I will be reacting. The second half I am looking forward to - the 20th is our civil union anniversary, and Ben and I are talking about heading out of town for a night the weekend beforehand.
This May will also be three years since the Migraine of Doom™ began. I wonder if it will ever, ever go away?
And now: cats!
