God, it's been a year and a half since my last blog update. Facebook has swallowed me whole!
Any of my friends on here that I'm not friends with yet on FB should look me up there. I actually am sort of active on there! Mostly just trivial crap, but hey, it's something.
Life has been busy this past year and a half. I've been enjoying the newfound freedom that finally buying a car has brought. It didnt change my life that much, but it is nice needing to rely on others less.
Things with Jojo are still going quite well. We've had a few bumps along the way, and still have llittle bumps here and there, but our relationship is definitely going strong. It's almost enough to make me want to resign from the Dating Sucks group on here. Almost. But I figure relationships and dating are different enough things. Besides, I'd miss reading some of the stories in there.
Work has been mostly more of the same. My responsibilities have continued to grow, but so has the position. I'm doing well. Our new administrator is so much different than our old one from a few years ago. My old boss micromanaged me to the extent that it would have been impossible for me to do anything wrong, and I didnt really even need to try to prioritize. Now I just get told a broad scope what to do, and the details are left to me. I like it, but it's certainly a lot more pressure. But.... pressure aside, I actually am pretty satisfied at work. That's a wonderful thing.
We've moved recently. We fell in love with a building we'd looked at a while back, even though we knew we couldnt afford to live there. Through odd circumstances, I ended up finding a lease that needed to be taken over in that same building, that had been written with some attractive promo rates. Even more coincidentally, this unit in particular was the *only* other unit in the building with the floor plan we wanted. It's wierd when it feels like the universe is listening to your desires. So we're living on the north waterfront now, and pretending we're much higher class than we really are. We're locked in at a good rate until the middle of next year, so we're going to enjoy it while we can.
This spring we're finally making it to Japan for the first time. As it gets closer and closer, I'm starting to stress about it more than a little. So many more plans to make when trying to avoid the inevitable language barrier issues. I just joined the SG Japan group. I'm sort of hoping to meet a Tokyo-ite on there that will exchange some tour guide duties for dinners and booze. We'll see if that goes anywhere. However that turns out though, I am excited!
I think that's enough for tonight. I should get to bed, as tomorrow looks like it may be a long day. I've been feeling an itch to be more active on here though, so maybe anyone that still reads my blog (ha!) will see me around a bit more often.
Goodnight!
