Six months ago, I was a happily single, busily working girl who didn't have a lot of time for distracting things. I was going to the gym, hiking several times a week, working over 50 hours some weeks, and readjusting life in Phoenix (again) while missing all the fabulous people I left behind in LA.
Cut to today, where I am actually BUSIER than I was six months ago, with someone hugely important in my life, and who is as busy (or busier) than I am! Between the two of us, there have been 7 trips outside of Phoenix just since April. And there are 7 more still to go before the end of the year. Whether its to Canada for work, Texas for a conference, up north to see my parents or his in California, we feel as if we are never home. And when we are...
We are busy making more plans, searching for the perfect house, working on all my articles, my chats, my classes (both for me and to teach), and my book reviews, resume updating, job searching, taking care of his mother and meeting more people from his family. We try to squeeze some camping in there too, but whew....so busy.
But this weekend we get to head to California to spend time with his sister...and we are very much looking forward to it!
Meanwhile, I have been running chats on VSPN.org almost every month this year, and took a position as a Course Assistant (paid!) which starts in September. I have also completed 5 book reviews for them, with 2 more in the works, and am now writing them for NAVTA also. I was writing as the Phoenix Dog Health Examiner for a while, but I just have not found time (or the reward) to write them. In the midst of all this, trying to get some personal reading done, being horribly ill (still!) for 2 weeks, and getting prepared to sit for my Veterinary Technician Specialty (VTS) exam in 2 years (next year requires a LOT of prep work) is making spare time look completely out of reach. How people do all of this with children I will never understand!
Needless to say, my poor cats have been a tad neglected, and may be moving to better digs soon. The gym has been neglected as well as my volunteering, so those have added some guilt on top of the huge pile already!
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer a bit more than I have been able to....though I love being so busy! Now if it would just rain already!!
