Hullo lovely. It has been a time since we last chatted and I felt strongly that I should bring you up to speed.
Since the last post I went on a short trip to visit my longest standing friend. It's always nice to be able to share space with the person who knows you best in the world, where silences are never awkward and where no matter how much of a mess you feel like you are they love you anyway. (And may perhaps ridicule you a little cause they are your friend and that is their job). Aside from much fun, wine and great food that little trip may have landed me a new beau. It's early days but so far I'm a little smitten and really enjoying the time we spend together.
On the work front there have been some big changes lately. My partner in the region was exited from the organization rather abruptly leaving me in change of the whole shebang! It more than doubled my workload with that change. Not only did the day to day workload increase though, but I have been voluntold that I will be sitting on a variety of committees and in strategy planning sessions to develop the overall structure for the new look of our organization. Perhaps I didn't look busy enough previously.
On the home front....my ex is an asshat and continues to make his presence known but word and deed. He has now petitioned to have our original settlement reopened because he thinks he's entitled to support from me. I'll let that sink in a moment.............................................. Yes, the man with a full time job, who ended up with the house and the boat, now thinks that I should pay him support for the time it took out of his life while I, and I quote, "...advanced my career....". We share custody of our daughter and each pay a set amount into an account that supports her activities, clothes etc. I shake my head and plot my revenge daily but still......gah! More lawyers, and time, and stress to be petty.
So peeps, the love life is ticking along slowly but rather nicely, work makes me want to cry right now and my ex well, he is a piece of work.
There is wine in the fridge and a brand new day tomorrow. Have a great long weekend and don't forget to stop and smell the bubble bath.
P.S. Didn't include on this list the fact that I had to move with 10 days notice so currently consider myself homeless and living on the mercy of my long suffering friends. A gypsy...yay! And last, but not least, one of my direct reports had a mild heart attack in the office yesterday which was a frightening experience for our staff and should make us all remember what's important. He's doing well....
