Let's try this again, shall we!? 


Well, it's been almost 3 yrs since I've actually posted to this blog. I really should hang my head in shame, but I'm not going to. Life happens, and sometimes certain things have to take a back seat. Blogging, which I wasn't good at to begin with, and cross stitch were two of those things taking a back seat.

I'm going to try again. Notice I said the word try? ;)
Of course, the cat laying over my left fore arm on the desk isn't helping. :P

Let's see. I'll try to do a short "catch up" for anyone who's reading. If I can remember that far back. lol

The year 2004 brought new jobs and a move. (confounded landlord)
DH and I both started training at an inbound call centre in the area.
During that 6 week training period we had to move from Cornwallis Park to Parker's Cove.

The year 2005 brought a new job for me, a new vehicle for us, and an addition to the family.
In December of 2004 I developed anxiety attacks at the call centre, I couldn't get past them (even with meds) so I found a new place to work at the beginning of January. I was hired during my interview. I've been there ever since. :D
In October DH, with the help of my parents, gave me a kitty for our anniversary. She was born in July 2005 and her name is Sasha.
In December, after several break-downs at night on the way home from work, DH and I bought a new-to-us Pontiac Montana. (I love my van.)

The year 2006 brought another move, and an illness.
Through the winter and spring DH and I decided that we'd prefer not to drive up a mountain every time we wanted to come home. In July we found a house for rent in Digby, where we had started our relationship. It's owned by the church we were married in, is a maximum 5 min walk to my work, and a 2 min to DMIL. Which is good cause she's not 100% anymore.
In November DH started developing symptoms that his co-workers thought was a stroke. It turns out he has Occipital Neuralgia. He's been off work since Nov 26, 2006. He's seen a specialist, and is awaiting the results of an MRI. He's on medication for headaches, seizures, and his depression. He's not allowed to drive, can't work, and is going batty stuck at home all the time.

That leads us to now. We're still waiting for test results, and to see how meds will work. He's been selling on the bay of evil to help contribute to the finances, and he's been slowly sorting out the moving mess we're still surrounded by.

I'm still at my store, where I've been since Jan 2005. My review is this month and I think I'm going to get a raise. I just hope it doesn't get lost in the Minimum Wage Order raise that's coming in April.
