Still Kicking

I know I haven’t been around in a while, but knowing how the internet works I’m sure no one really gives a shit anyway.  Work is taking it’s toll on me so I don’t even have the time to check my email anymore.  I’m home early enough with nothing to do so I can finally sit down and at least update to let you (those who do actually care) know that I’m alive, I’m just too damn busy.

I have no drive for just about anything anymore, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing ’cause I’m out of the house all day and making some pretty decent money.  I’m enrolling in school with the next pay check so I really won’t be around to do much of anything when that happens.  I’m finally getting my Bachelors so I can find a job that pays a bit more in a field that I used to, at one point, enjoy very much.

I’m permanently living in New York, Sean and I are working hard at getting our own place so we’re no longer a burden on anyone, even though we pay our own way around here and for others as well.  Hopefully with a degree under my belt and all of the work that Sean’s been doing lately we’ll be able to get something nice and cozy just for us and Bella (of course).

On the animal front – Bella’s been doing OK but she’s got this horrible growth on her stomach that’s cause for concern.  It’s gotten much larger as we’ve been up here and right now it looks as though there’s a ball (a little larger than a golf ball) stuck under her skin on her stomach and it’s just kind of hanging there.  I’m pulling money together so I can have it removed.  It’s uncomfortable for her, and everyone can see that.  She isn’t as active as she once was and her appetite has gone out the window.  She can’t sit or lay down properly because it gets in the way so it’s certainly time to get rid of it completely.  I originally wanted to get it taken care of a few months ago but bills are very tight and it’s just not something that I can afford since the VET isn’t willing to work out any kind of payment arrangements.

Dad’s doing well, no sign of cancer thanks to his treatments.  My mother, on the other hand, it’s been pretty much up and down for her for the past few months.  She’s been pretty weak, and it’s been hard for her to get around so my sister’s over there a lot helping her out.  I would be if I wasn’t always at the office.

I don’t think I ever mentioned anything about this job since I started there – it’s been about five months since my start date.  I love the environment, can’t stand a few people, and have bumped heads a few times but that’s my personality.  I’m working with two absolutely wonderful ladies and I’ve spent a lot of time with one of them outside of work because she’s one of the coolest people in the world.

In any event, my 10 minutes online has certainly stretched a bit further than I would have liked it to.  I would like to update more often but I don’t have the ability to do it at work during any downtime and by the time I get home at night the only thing I’m looking to do is keep my head on a pillow until the following morning.  I have been able to check my email more often though so anyone still floating around feel free to drop a line (krissyville @ gmail.com)  let me know your new web addresses too – I haven’t kept my list updated in quite some time.  You can even comment with it, I have them all on moderate anyway.
