My baby girl, born on the 24th of May at 8:24 am, weighing and measuring at 7 lbs, 5 oz, and 20.25 in. ?
She's perfect in every way.

The Next Stage
So. The new year approaches. With that, it's time for an update! (: This year has been filled with so much frustration, success, failure, victory, and transitions. I lost my job. That fucking blew. Being disqualified from a job for reasons you have no control over sucks ass. I lost probably about 1k in monthly earnings as a result. Threw me into a pretty deep funk, especially since I had finally truly met the standard our parent company laid out--50% above the regular company standard. Lost my move to England (not terribly sad about that, really), and was shuttled to an admin job. Fucking sucked. There's a "but" to the story though. I was promoted. I got a new job (still in the process of cross training over). The job I'm getting I like a LOT more than the one I lost. It's a smaller company so I have better supervision. It's about two tiers higher in responsibility. I don't have to get upgraded to a dead end position that would have burned me out in a single year. And I have an
an update
Being reclassed is a difficult thing, especially when you finally feel like you've qualified totally for your current job and it's something completely out of your control kicking you out of it. Ah well. At least I get a chance to do something extraordinarily rare in my career field. That's pretty cool.
Besides that, I got the promotion I wanted too, so life is doing pretty alright. Pay raises are great, and this is something I've been working towards for the last 4 years.
Been drawing, but it's been a very intermittent thing. Between work and family, it's just the nature of things.
I write sometimes, but writing is even harder to do when
Back from deployment
Was a good one. Lost 20 lbs (yay), got back in shape (double yay), and drew and wrote quite a bit. Didn't get to a lot of things--had some knitting and embroidery I was supposed to get to, but never really did. Got my degree. A few shitty things happened. Missed my anniversary, my kids' birthdays, mother's day, father's day, and the diarrhea frosting on the shit cake--my cat died. So mixed feelings on several levels.
But I'm back. I'm a little more motivated. I still haven't been able to get back in contact with my best non-spouse friend, so that fucking sucks. He doesn't know how much even our chat logs helped me get back to writing. Oh wel
Damn I hardly update this thing
I have two babies now! Ilona Juniper is the newest little girl, and I'm so late in mentioning her that she already over six months old! She is a joyful, sweet thing, and her sister loves her very much.
