1. The Tall Guy has been diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. Who knew it would be with us forever? It's the biggest reason I haven't been around. Three years, tens of thousands of dollars and about a jillion doctor visits to get it figured out, but at least now we know what we're dealing with. Diagnosis and treatment is a nightmare, and it's really just too much to go into right now. But he's feeling better and that's a RELIEF :)
2. The house hunt has begun in earnest. We looked at five properties last weekend, two of them quite promising. The weather was perfect, and even though we ended up doing some almost-off-road trekking in the clown car, we had a wonderful time. Because the market keeps getting softer and softer, we're holding out for something that really speaks to us.
3. I've been transferred to our main office in The Capitol. The job is interesting, I'm saving lots of taxpayer dollars and feel validated and/or appreciated (almost) every day. It's a big change for me. I miss my workboots. I miss working with men. I miss having my own office with a door. But it's a good move nonetheless.
4. The Girl Child is engaged to be married in December. Oy. I'm very pleased for her, but it makes me feel so ooooold. They just bought a house, hooray for them. Love her!
5. The Boychik seems to have gotten his apples together. He's got a nice girl, and a job with a startup electronics recycling company. He's finding his way, growing into the man I know he can be. Love him too!
So...what's new with you?
