I have been neglecting this poor blog for some time now. It's for many a reason but mostly, I've been busy. Secondly, I'm tired of whining! LOL. Unfortunately, blogging tonight would just be more of me whining again.

Mondays suck.

I haven't written in so long! I have had such a crazy life these past few weeks and I feel like if I start to journal now it could take hours. I'll get as much out as possible before passing out to an early bedtime.

Lets start with the medical: Things are much better now. I feel just fine. I had a post operation appointment with the OBGYN and all he asked was "how are you?" I said I was fine and he sent me on my way. I'm not considered high risk, even though this is our second miscarriage. Apparently, you have to have two in a row for that to happen. He suggested I even see our family doctor next time we get pregnant. Alrighty then. So we're free to keep trying, which is what we're doing without the day counting and such. Still with an "if it happens great" attitude about the whole thing. Easier to deal with I guess.

Work has been fun. Without getting into too much detail, as I don't like to discuss work stuff online, I went to a conference on Social Responsibility and Sustainability. It was a good conference and I did learn some stuff. It was amazing to talk to people who are so involved in saving the earth. They have such a passion for it and long to make everyone else passionate as well. I left feeling very overwhelmed and like I wanted to purchase a Hummer. Don't get me wrong, I love the earth and I know we need to change our habits to prevent death by global warming but it was a little too much, all day long. The problem is so big, I got very overwhelmed. I am in charge of Earth Day at work and we are doing what we can to make people more aware. It is hard though when the change is more expensive. Does it make sense that using recycled containers and purchasing organic food is MORE expensive? After all, there is less processing and chemicals. From what I'm told, and I'm no expert, it's because the government doesn't help these companies at all and they're footing all the cost unlike their eco-unfriendly competitors. It's all confusing.

I'm praying for rain tonight. We sure need it! If we had some rain the green would come back. Though the snow has melted and it's in the 70s the green is still gone. One rain or two would fix that.

And with that, I'm exhausted. Time for some sleep and then one more day till work starts up again. Going to be a busy week and I need to be ready for it. 

It’s a rare occasion when I’m too busy or bummed out to blog. It does happen from time to time and it seems to me I’m going through it right now.

Mike has been working so much overtime that I feel like I never get to see him. It’s just in passing or right before bed that we talk, and just for a minute about the small things before we pass out. If he is home, I’m not. If I’m home, he’s not. Sometimes that’s just the way it works and that’s how it’s going to work for much of the late winter and spring time.

I’m going to certification in two weeks! I’m so excited and so apprehensive about the whole thing. It’s a life changing experience because I’ll be certified in something that’s very important to my career. I’ll have a lot of options once I’m certified and the really cool thing is I like where I’m at. I don’t really need options right now, but, if anything ever goes wrong, I’ll have them.

I booked my flight and hotel and I’ll be by myself for 5 days and 4 nights in a new and exciting place. I’ve always hoped I would find myself in a position like this and it’s awesome to be here. I’m going to miss Nathan and Mike but it’s not like that will keep me from going. If it gets rough I’ll just have to remember this is for them too. The more I know about my job the more in demand I become.

Before certification I’m leaving for California. My best friend’s mom passed away. We might be far apart but my heart is already with her. My flight leaves tonight actually. I’m excited to be seeing my parents and my best friend but the circumstances are difficult. I’ve never had a parent pass away. Other than being so incredibly sorry for the situation…there’s just no words to say. I can only hope being there helps.

So, since I’m not going to be in the office much I’m working like crazy and getting things done before I leave and trouble shooting things that might come up. Once things calm down I’ll be blogging more often.
