Since I've Posted
It's been a long long time since I've posted and so much has changed in my life. I feel somewhat settled into the new routine, the new place, the job. . .it's not perfect, of course, because I don't have Orion with me 100% of the time. It's like having part of my soul ripped out, of course.

But, on the other hand, he's getting quality time with his poppa and seems to be a happy kid no matter what he's doing. He's so imaginative and can create an atmosphere of play out of cardboard boxes.

So, I'm in the new condo with a garage stuffed full of boxes of things I don't necessarily need but can't throw out. (A chafing dish, a large coffee carafe, books and books and books with no bookshelves) It's super quiet here, and I rarely see other tenants. Workers are here converting the next apartment building over into condos. I was lucky to get in here while I did as prices are going up with this next phase. I have a peek of Mt. Ranier from one of my windows, I have a cool spiral staircase leading to a large loft where Orion and I have our desks. I'm close to the Kent clinic where I sometimes work, closer to my mom and dad, sister and niece and cool stores.

Working full-time has been tough. The weeks feel extraordinarily long, and I've been covering vacations. So, I'm doing all sorts of different jobs at the different clinics. I enjoy the challenge yet it's exhausting. Two weeks ago, I was back-office dr assistant at Kent, this past week, dispensing optician at Auburn, this coming week, I will be the back-office assistant at Auburn. ("Pretester") doing the autorefractor, getting eye pressures, blood pressures, acuities, med history, contact lens trainings, etc.

Our house in Auburn is sold and now occupied by strangers. A weird and extremely sad feeling. I try to not think about it or many other things, so as to keep the water-works from happening.

The rainy summer we've been having is putting down my mood. Today, I'm staying in, being lazy. And it's Sunday already. time for another damned week of work. How did I survive full-time for all those years?

Patrick is in his townhouse and has a lot of work to do. I helped him move some shelves the other day. He's done a nice job with color selections. It's a long way out there, to drop Orion off in the morning before work and to pick him up after work. School is just around the corner, with Orion off to Kindergarten soon. I'm going to hate that day, I think.

There's so much more in my heart--things I won't write, because they don't belong here. I just know that people presume to know me and make judgments that aren't true. I'm faced with it every day, especially at work. Gossip mongers!

I hope all my friends in LJ land are doing well. I'm happy to be able to have the time or mood to even post a little bit. I haven't written or exercised in a long while. I realize I need to know get my life back in control, if I can. And here I sit today, doing nothing.
